Answer 2

13 players

Explanation:

Money Raised=RentedBus+Meals

1319.25=776.50+41.75p (p is for the number of players)(Now we solve for x)

Subtract 776.50 from both sides: 542.75=41.75x

Divide both sides by 41.75: 13=x

Remember that x is for the number of players so there'll be 13 players going to the tournament.
