Answer: $26

Step-by-step explanation:

   If $19.50 is 3/4, we need to find 4/4.

3/4 -> 0.75

4/4 -> 1

    We will set up a proportion and solve.

[tex]\frac{19.5}{0.75} =\frac{x}{1}[/tex]

19.5 = 0.75x

26 = x

         The professional ball is $26.

Answer:

$26

Step-by-step explanation:

19.50 = 3/4

so

to find 1/4, we do 19.50 / 3 = 6.5

6.5 = 1/4

so the price of a professional ball would be 4/4 (1 whole)

6.5 x 4 = 26

Hope this makes sense.
