Question

Members of a softball team raised $1319.25 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $776.50 and budgeted $41.75 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine pp, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Answer 1

13 players

Explanation:

Money Raised=RentedBus+Meals

1319.25=776.50+41.75p (p is for the number of players)(Now we solve for x)

Subtract 776.50 from both sides: 542.75=41.75x

Divide both sides by 41.75: 13=x

Remember that x is for the number of players so there'll be 13 players going to the tournament.
