Question

​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.

Answer 1

Answer:The answer is 18

The model equation is 28.75p+450=967.50

Explanation:

Total amount raised =967.50

Bus rental cost =450

Budget for meal per player =28.75

let p represent each player that could be brought to the tournament ,therefore total player =28.75p

967.50=450+28.75p

967.50-450=28.75p

517.5=28.75p

Divide both sides by 28.75

517.5/28.75 =28.75p/28.75

18=p

p=18

Therefore the total number of players in the baseball team is 18
