Question

You and six friends play on a basketball team. A sponsor paid $100 for the league fee, x dollars for each player’s T-shirt, and $68.25 for trophies. Write an expression for the total amount paid by the sponsor

Answer 1

Total amount paid by the sponsor = 175 + 6d

Explanation:

You and 5 friends = 6 people

Cost of renting a bus = $75

Team entry fee = $100

Cost of each student t shirts = $d

Cost of 6 student t shirts = $d × 6= $6d

Write an expression for the total amount the sponsor paid.

Total amount paid by the sponsor = Cost of renting a bus + Team entry fee + Cost of 6 student t shirts

= $75 + $100 + $6d

= $175 + $6d

Total amount paid by the sponsor = 175 + 6d

Where,

d = cost of each student t shirts
