Answer 1

Answer: 13 uniforms.

Step-by-step explanation: To solve the given problem we need to calculate the number of basketball uniforms that were purchased if the cost of each uniform was $60, using the given equation:

C=
`C=(40n-260)/(n)`

substituting C=60:

`60=(40n+260)/(n)`

multiplying both sides by n:

60n=40n+260

60n-40n=260

20n=260

n=260/20

n=13.

13 uniforms were purchased.
