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
