Answer: each racquet costs $65.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of each racquet.

Simon ordered a racquet and can of three tennis balls for each player. Since there are 6 players in the team, it means that he ordered 6 racquets and 6 cans of tennis balls.

The cost of the 6 racquets would be 6x.

If each can of balls cost $4, then the cost of the 6 cans of tennis balls would be 6 * 4 = $24

Since the total bill is $415, then the equation would be

6x + 24 = 415

6x = 415 - 24 = 391

x = 391/6

x = $65.17
