Question

a coach is buying snacks for 22 players at a soccer match. she pays a total of $77 to buy each player a bottle of water and an energy bar. the price of one energy bar is $2. which quantity is unknown? the price of a bottle of water let w equal the price of a bottle of water. write an equation that represents the situation.

Explanation:

Step1: Define cost per player

Cost per player = cost of water + cost of bar = $w + 2$

Step2: Total cost for 22 players

Total cost = number of players × cost per player
$22(w + 2) = 77$

Answer:

$22(w + 2) = 77$
