Question

A volleyball league collected $2,040 for both division of volleyball teams the blue division costs &160 per team and the red division costs $180 per team.How many teams will play in each division

Answer 1

There are 6 teams will play for each team.

Explanation:

Given;

Total amount of money = $ 2040

Cost for blue team = $ 160

Cost for red team = $ 180

Solution,

Let number of blue teams be x and the number of red teams be y.

Total cost =
`160x + 180y = 2040`

Since it is a league match and so both divisions must have equal teams.

∴ x=y

∴
`160x + 180x = 2040`

`340x = 2040\\x = 6`

Hence the number of teams in each division is 6.
