Question

15. There are 15 children on a soccer team and 4 more than one-third that number on the tennis team. On the basketball team there are 2 less than three times the number of students that are on the tennis team. All of the athletes from the three teams got together for a pizza party. How many athletes were at the pizza party?

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP​

Answer 1

49 athletes attended the pizza party

Explanation:

Number of soccer team players = 15

Number of tennis players = 4 more than one-third that number
This translates to

Number of tennis players = 15/3 + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9

Number of basketball players = 2 less than three times the number of students that are on the tennis team
which translates to
3 x 9 - 2 = 25

So total number of players on all teams = 15 + 9 + 25 =49
