Answer:

12 players.

Explanation:

The pizza restaurant has a special offer which offers 3 pizza's for $25 . This means each pizza's cost 25/3 = $8.33. The soccer team is ordering pizza.

Each soccer player eat 1/4 pizza, this means each player eats one quarter of the pizza. 1/4 of the pizza eaten by a single person will require 4 person to finish 1 pizza.

1/4 = 0.25

0.25 × 4 person = 1 pizza

since 4 soccer player will consume 1 pizza

how many will consume 3 pizza

cross multiply

4 × 3 = 12 players.

OR it can be calculated easily below

if 1/4 pizza is consume by 1 player

3 pizzas will serve x number of player

cross multiply

x = 3 / 1/4

x = 3 × 4

x = 12 players
