Question

at the end of a football game, the players were given the choice of having a bottle of water or a bottle of juice. Of all the players, 14 chose bottle of water, which was 2/3 of the total number of players.Write and solve an equation to determine p, the total number of players on the team

Answer 1

Answer:Therefore, the total number of players on the team is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:Let's start by using algebra to represent the information given in the problem.

Let p be the total number of players on the team.

The number of players who chose water is given as 14.

This is also equal to 2/3 of the total number of players, so we can write:

14 = (2/3) * p

To solve for p, we can isolate it on one side of the equation by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2:

14 * (3/2) = (2/3) * p * (3/2)

21 = p
