Question

The school purchased baseball equipment and uniforms for a total cost of $1,836. The equipment cost $612, and the uniforms were $25.50 each. How many uniforms did the school purchase?

Answer 1

You have to put a equation:

`1836 = 612 + 25,50x`⇔
`1836-612=25,50x`⇔
`1224 = 25,50x`⇔
`x= (1224)/(25,50)`⇔
`x=48`
The school purchased 48 uniforms.

Answer 2

$1,836 minus the $612 equipment = $1,224 divide $1,224 by $25.50 for each uniform and get 24 uniforms as an answer
