Question

Members of a soccer team raised $2143.50 to go to a tournament. They

rented a bus for $888.50 and budgeted $62.75 per player for meals. Write
and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the number of
players the team can bring to the tournament.​

Answer 1

`2143.50=888.50+62.75x`, 20 players

Explanation:

The cost is the bus fare plus the cost for player times the number of players.

`2143.50=888.50+62.75x \\ \\ 1255=62.75x \\ \\ x=20`
