518/21= 24.6 round to 25

Answer 2

13 uniforms

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

total cost of equipments= $245

cost of each uniform=$21

Total purchase = $518

Step two:

The amount spent on uniform is total purchase minus the total cost of equipment

=518-245

=$273

Hence the total cost of the uniform is $273

if one will cost $21, then the number of uniforms they bought is

=273/21

=13 uniforms
