Question

members of a soccer team raised $1856.75 to go to a tournament. they rented a bus for $885.50 and budgeted $46.25 per player for meals. determine the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate remaining money for meals

Subtract bus - rental cost from total money. Let $x$ be the remaining money for meals. So, $x = 1856.75−885.50$.
$x = 971.25$

Step2: Calculate number of players

Divide the remaining money for meals by the meal - budget per player. Let $n$ be the number of players. So, $n=\frac{971.25}{46.25}$.
$n = 21$

Answer:

21
