Question

Members of a soccer team raised $1724 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $948.50 and budgeted $35.25 per player for meals. Determine the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Answer 1

They can bring up to 22 players

Explanation:

They raised $1,724.00. They rented a bus for $948.50

$1,724.00 - $948.50 = 775.50

Since a meal costs $35.25, we will divide $775.50 by $35.25

$775.50 / $35.25 = 22

Which means they can bring 22 players to the tournament.
