Answer:

Let's start with the total money needed for basketballs

The total money the coach will need for 40 basketballs will be 40 times price of one basketball.

Thus we need to find the price of one basketball.

$27 for 3 basketballs

Thus for one basketball, [tex]\frac{27}{3}[/tex] Which gives us,

'9'.

So for 40 basketballs 40 * $9

Which gives us $360.

Now let's find the total money needed for sneakers.

The total money needed for sneakers is 7 times the cost of one sneaker.

So, we need to find the cost of 1 sneaker

which is [tex]\frac{90}{5}[/tex]  which gives us,

$18.

Thus total amount of money  needed for sneakers is 9 * $18 which gives us

$162

So total amount the coach has to pay is $360+$162 (total cost of basketballs + total cost of sneakers)

=$552

Therefore, total amount the coach has to pay is $552
