A wrestling coach is entering his team in a tournament. There is a $75 fee for each team entered, plus a $5 fee for each wrestler entered.

The total cost to enter a team in a wrestling tournament can be represented by the equation f = 5w + 75, where f is the total fee and w is the
number of wrestlers entered.
if the total fee is $135, how many wrestlers does the coach enter in the tournament?

12 wrestlers

First you do 135-75=60 to find the cost he payed for just the wrestlers

then each wrestlers cost 5 dollar so you do 60/5 to get a total of 12 wrestlers
