Question

a clay target team in texas has a surprising number of one legged members. all these members wear a boot . of the remainder of the twenty two members, only half choose to where boots, the others go barefoot. How many boots are worn by the team

Answer 1

11 boots are worn by the team.

Answer 2

22 boots

Explanation:

Given the following from the question:

L = number of one-legged members in the team

T = number of two-legged members in the team

B = number of boots worn by the team

Deriving the Equations, we have the following:

Eqation I: L + T = 22

Equation II: L + (1/2)(2)T = B

L + T = B

By comparing Equation I with Equation II, B = 22.

Hence, the final Answer in this case is:

The team wears 22 boots.
