Answer:

  $48.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The purchases can be written in equation form as ...

  4v +5f = 352.65

  2v +4f = 249.12

Doubling the second equation and subtracting the first gives ...

  2(2v +4f) -(4v +5f) = 2(249.12) -(352.65)

  3f = 145.59 . . . . simplify

  f = 48.53 . . . . . . divide by 3

The price of each football was $48.53.
