My question is: School coaches bought sports equipment. Coach A bought ten new basketballs for $29 each, while coach B bought 14 new baseballs for $2.50 each and a baseball bat for $18. How much more did coach A spend than coach B? Your thoughts:

Coach A spent $29x 10 = $290 for the 10 basketballs. Coach B spent $2.50x14 = $35 for the 14 baseballs. So, Coach B spent a total of $35 + $18 = $53 for the baseballs and a bat. Thus, Coach A spent $290 - $53 = $237 more than coach B. The final answer: 237.
