Question

6.

A soccer coach buys a uniform and a soccer ball for each of the 15 players on the team. Each soccer ball
costs $14. The coach spends a total of $345 for uniforms and soccer balls. Write and solve an equation to
represent the cost of each jersey. Show all work.

Answer 1

15n=135

Explanation:

first, you need to know how much of the total amount is the money needed for soccer balls, to find this you take the amount of a soccer ball and multiple it by the amount of people

14×15=210

then you subtract that from the total amount to get the amount spent on jerseys.

345-210=135

to get the amount of each jersey you take 135 and divide by the amount of people

135÷15=9
