Answer 1

The number of teams that will play in each division will be 6.

Explanation:

Given:

Total money collected by volleyball league is $2040. The blue division costs $160 and the red division costs $180.

Now, for getting the number of teams that will play in each division:

Let the number of teams that will play in each division be
`x`.

So, the number of team in blue division will be
`160x`.

And, the number of team in red division will be
`180x`.

According to question:

`160 x+180 x=2040`

`340 x=2040`

Dividing both sides by 340 we get:

`x=6`

Therefore, the number of teams that will play in each division will be 6.
