Question

Answer 1

188 wrestlers

Explanation:

Given

`F =5w + 75`

`F = 1013`

Required

Determine the number of wrestlers (w)

We have:

`F =5w + 75`

Substitute:
`F = 1013`

`1013 = 5w + 75`

Collect like terms

`5w = 1013 - 75`

`5w = 938`

Divide both sides by 5

`w = 187.6`

Round up to get the number of wrestlers

`w = 188`
