Question

A coach buys a uniform and a basketball for each of the 20 players on the team. Each

basketball costs $10.40. The coach spends a total of $620 for uniforms and basketballs
What was the cost of a single uniform?

Answer 1

$20.60

Explanation:

You find how much it costs for the total amount of basketballs (10.40×20=208), then you subtract that number from the total cost of everything to get the cost of all the uniforms (620-208=412), then you divide the total costs for all uniforms by 20 to find the cost for a single uniform (412÷20=20.6). Always make sure that the decimals go until the hundredths place for USD.

Hope this helps!
