Question

Members of a baseball team raised $1386.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $1137.50 and budgeted $20.75 per player for meals. Determine the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Answer 1

12 players

Explanation:

the team started off with $1386.50

subtract $1137.50 for the rented bus

`1386.50 - 1137.50 = 249`

the team has $249 left for the meals and a meal costs $20.75 for each player.

249 ÷ 20.75 = 12

the team can bring 12 players to the tournament.
