Answer: we can conclude that the team has enough money to buy 11 uniforms.

Explanation:

To determine whether the baseball team has enough money to buy 11 uniforms, we need to find the total cost of purchasing 11 uniforms.

The cost of one uniform is given as $124. Therefore, the cost of purchasing 11 uniforms would be:

Total cost = Cost per uniform × Number of uniforms

Total cost = $124 × 11

Total cost = $1,364

We can see that the total cost of purchasing 11 uniforms is $1,364, which is less than the amount of money the team has available ($1,400). Therefore, the team has enough money to buy 11 uniforms.

Alternatively, we can also determine the maximum number of uniforms that can be purchased with the given amount of money by dividing the total amount of money by the cost of one uniform:

Maximum number of uniforms = Total amount of money ÷ Cost per uniform

Maximum number of uniforms = $1,400 ÷ $124

Maximum number of uniforms = 11.29 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Since the maximum number of uniforms that can be purchased is greater than 11, we can conclude that the team has enough money to buy 11 uniforms.
