Question

members of a soccer team raised $1511 to go to a tournament. they rented a bus for $933.50 and budgeted $38.50 per player for meals. determine the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate remaining money

First, find out the money left after renting the bus. Subtract the bus - rental cost from the total raised money. Let the remaining money be $x$.
$x = 1511−933.50=577.5$

Step2: Calculate number of players

The remaining money is for the players' meals. Since each player's meal budget is $38.50$, let the number of players be $n$. Then $n=\frac{x}{38.50}$.
$n=\frac{577.5}{38.50}=15$

Answer:

15
