Question

There are 12 players on a new softball team before the team starts playing games 13 must pay a total registration fee of $572 along with them registration fee the Team will also need to spend a total of $1,240 on equipment to pay for the cost of the registration fee and the equipment the players held a car wash and raised $786 they then decided to sell candles for $9.50 per candle to cover the remaining costs if each player sell the same number of candles how many candles must each player sell

Answer 1

The total cost of registration fee and equipment is $572 + $1,240 = $1,812.

After raising $786 from the car wash, the team still needs to raise $1,812 - $786 = $1,026 from selling candles.

To find out how many candles each player must sell, we need to divide the total amount needed by the number of players:

$1,026 ÷ 12 = $85.50

So each player needs to sell candles for a total of $85.50.

To find out how many candles that is, we need to divide the total amount by the price per candle:

$85.50 ÷ $9.50 = 9

Therefore, each player needs to sell 9 candles to cover the remaining costs.
