    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mario bought 3 cans of tennis balls. Mario paid for part of the purchase that he made using a gift card with $7.25 on it. He paid for the rest with $4.72 of his own money. This means that total cost of his purchase (3 cans of tennis balls). Total cost of the 3 cans of tennis balls will be

    Amount on gift card + cash amount

    = 7.25 + 4.72 = $11.97

    Therefore, 3 cans of tennis balls cost $11.97

    The unit cost, C of one tennis ball will be

    Total cost of 3 cans of tennis balls / total number of cans of tennis balls bought.

    C = 11.97/3 = 3.99

    C (x) = 3.99x

    Where x is the number of cups of tennis
