Members of a softball team raised $1943.50 to go to a tournament. they rented a bus for $1148.50 and budgeted $53 per player for meals. write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.



Answer :

The number of players the team can bring to the tournament are 15

Firstly we need to form the equation. The components of equation based on given information are as follows -

Total amount raised by softball team = Cost of bus + Cost of meal × number of players

Let the number of players be represented with x.

1943.50 = 1148.50 + 53×x

Rewriting the equation

53x = 1943.50 - 1148.50

Performing subtraction to Right Hand Side of the equation

53x = 795

Shifting 75 to Right Hand Side of the equation

x = 795 ÷ 53

Performing division at Right Hand Side of the equation

x = 15

Hence, 15 players the team can bring to the tournament.
