Members of a baseball team raised $967.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $450.00 and budgeted $28.75 per player for meals. They will spend all the money they raised. Write and solve an equation that models this situation and could be used to determine the number of players, p, the team could bring to the tournament.

967.50 = 450 + 28.75p

967.50 - 450 = 28.75p

517.5 = 28.75p

18 = p
