Members of a basketball team raised $891.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $475 and budgeted $29.75 per player for meals. They will spend all the
money they raised.
(a) Write an equation that models this situation.
(b) Solve the equation to determine the number of players, p, the team could bring
to the tournament.
Show your work.

a) 891.5 = 475 + 29.75p  b) p = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will be the total amount of money they raised equals the cost of the bus plus the cost of the meal per player. This will set up the equation to find out how many players can go if they use all of their money.

p represents the number of players on the team

891.5 = 475 + 29.75p

Subtract the cost of the bus from both sides

416.5 = 29.75p

Now divide by the cost of the meals

14 = p

They can bring 14 players to the tournament.

answer: yes i agree that you should not put it on/p>

step-by-step explanation: the reason for this is that it wastes other peoples time and also make them fail as well and that is never good.
