If 5 hockey balls and 3 sticks cost $230.00 and 5 balls and 2 sticks cost $200 how much does one hockey ball cost? step by step explanation:
​

$28.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system of equations

5b + 3s = 230          (b = cost of 1 ball and s = cost of 1 stick).

5b + 2s = 200

Subtract the above from the first equation:

s = 30

So, substituting in equation 1:-

5b + 3(30) = 230

5b = 230 - 3(30) = 140

b = 28.

Checking in equation 2:-

5(28) + 2(30)

= 10 + 60

= 200.

- this checks out OK.
