Members of a softball team raised $1648.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $896.50 and budgeted $47 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

The number of players the team can bring to the tournament is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, the equation would express that the total cost to go to the tournament is equal to the price to rent a bus plus the result of multiplying the amount per player for meals for the number of players.

Total cost=896.50+47x, where:

x is the number of players

Now, as you know that the softball team raised $1,648.50 to go to a tournament, you can replace the total cost with this number and solve for x:

1,648.50=896.50+47x

1,648.50-896.50=47x

752=47x

x=752/47

x=16

According to this, the answer is that the number of players the team can bring to the tournament is 16.

Equation:  47x + 896.5 = 1648.5

X= 16
