Question

During a tournament,a batting cage can be used for $5.00 for 50 pitches.If all 192 players use the cage one time , how much money will the batting cage generate?

Answer 1

The answer is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is :

Number of players = 192

A batting cage is used by 50 players for $5

So, 192 players will need =
`(192)/(50)= 3.84` batting pitches or rounding this off we get 4.

Now, cost for 1 batting cage = $5

So, cost for 4 batting cages =
`5*4=20`

Hence, the answer is $20.

Answer 2

The correct answer is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to see how many "groups of 50" there are in 192 players.

192/50 = 3.84.

This means we have 3 groups of 50 with some left over. However, we will have to pay the $5 for the group left over as well; this means we will have to pay $5 for 4 different groups to bat.
5*4 = $20.
