Answer:

the answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

i went but the all the other answers in and it was left to  A

Option A is the correct answer.

What is the cost of one item if the cost of m items is x?

The cost of one item is obtained by dividing the total cost of m items by the number of items.

Given

The total amount spent by Sal > $24,

cost of 3 tennis balls = $2.

Cost of n tennis balls

Divide the cost of three tennis balls by 3 to get the cost of one tennis ball, which is $2/3.

Let the number of balls bought by Sal be n, and P be the cost of n tennis balls.

Total amount spent by him, P = cost of one ball × number of balls bought = ($2/3) × n = $(2/3)n.

Obtain the inequality

Since the total amount spent by him > $24, using the above value of P we obtain,

$(2/3)n > $24.

The inequality to be used to find n is (2/3)n > 24.
