24 Tennis balls

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for How many tennis balls are left

First step

Since we have 12 can with 3 balls each Let the number of balls that the tennis pro has at the beginning be x

x=(12 can ×3 balls each)

x=36

Second step

Since we have 4 players who lost 3 ball each Let the total number of balls that was lost be y

y=(4 players×3 balls each)

y=12

Third step is to calculate How many tennis balls are left

Since x represent the number of balls at the beginning and y represent the number of balls that was lost , then let the number of tennis balls that was left after the session represent z

z=36−12

z=24 Tennis balls

Therefore the numbers of tennis balls that are left will be 24 Tennis balls

95.03 is the answer. hope this !
