Question

A team of 12 players got an award of 1800 for a winning a championship football game if the captain of the team is allowed to keep 315 How much money would each of the other players get

Answer 1

Other players of football team will get $135 each.

Explanation:

Number of team players in the team = 12 (including captain)

Award won by the team = $1800

Captain allowed to keep the amount = $315

Number of rest members excluding captain = 12 - 1 = 11

Amount left for team of 11, after the deduction of captain's amount = $1800 - $315 = $1485

Money received by each team member =
`\frac{\text{Amount left}}{\text{Number of team members excluding captain}}`

=
`(1485)/(11)`

= $135

Therefore, other players of football team will get $135 each.
