There are25% more basketballs then footballs at models sports store. If there are a total of 54 balls in the store, how many are basketball and how many are footballs

Answer: there are 30 basketballs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of footballs at the models sports store.

There are25% more basketballs then footballs at models sports store. The value of 25% of football is

25/100 * x = 0.25 * x = 0.25x

It means that the number of basketballs at the models sports store is

x + 0.25x = 1.25x

If there are a total of 54 balls in the store, it means that

x + 1.25x = 54

2.25x = 54

x = 54/2.25

x = 24

The number of basketballs would be

1.25x = 1.25 * 24 = 30
