A baseball bat eight baseballs cost $163.25 that cost 106.45 what is the cost of c of one baseball
*posting again bc no one helped me before :((
A. 163.25 - 8c = 106.45; $33.72
B. 8c + 106.45 = 163.25; $7.10
C. 8c + 163.25 = 106.45; $7.10
D. 8c -106.45 = 163.25; $ 33.71
*those are the possible answers that they have

To find the cost of one baseball, let's set up an equation using the given information.
Let's assume the cost of one baseball is represented by 'c'.
We are given that a baseball bat and eight baseballs together cost $163.25, which means the cost of the bat plus the cost of eight balls is equal to $163.25.
We are also given that the cost of the bat alone is $106.45.
So, the equation would be:
(cost of bat) + 8 * (cost of one baseball) = total cost
106.45 + 8 * c = 163.25
To solve for 'c', we'll start by subtracting 106.45 from both sides of the equation:
8 * c = 163.25 - 106.45
8 * c = 56.80
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
c = 56.80 / 8
Calculating this gives us:
c = 7.10
Therefore, the cost of one baseball is $7.10.
To find the cost of one baseball, you need to subtract the cost of the baseball bat and the cost of eight baseballs from the total cost of $163.25.
Let's break down the information provided:
Cost of the baseball bat + Cost of eight baseballs = Total cost
Let's assign variables to the unknown values:
Let C be the cost of one baseball.
Now we can set up the equation:
Cost of the baseball bat + Cost of eight baseballs = Total cost
106.45 + 8C = 163.25
To isolate C, let's solve the equation step by step:
1. Subtract 106.45 from both sides:
8C = 163.25 - 106.45
2. Simplify the right side:
8C = 56.80
3. Divide both sides by 8:
C = 56.80 / 8
Calculating this gives us:
C = 7.10
Therefore, the cost of one baseball is $7.10.
