Question

A mom buys a jersey and a hat for each of the 10 players on the football team. Each hat costs $16.40. The mom spends a total of 5341 for jerseys

and hats.
Enter an equation that models the situation with u, the cost of one jersey.

Answer 1

First let’s subtract the total cost of the hat from the total cost of hat and jersey.

16.40 * 10 = 164

5341 - 164 = 5177

Now since there’s 10 players we do:

5177/10 = 517.7

u = 517.7
