Answer 2

The number of players the team can bring to the  tournament is 15.

Given:

The total amount of money raised by the soccer team = $1719

Amount to rent the bus = $1051.50

Amount budgeted for each player's meal = $44.50

To find:

Equation and the number of players the team can bring to the  tournament

Solution:

The number of players the team can bring to the  tournament = z

Amount budgeted for each player's meal = $44.50

Total amount needed for z number of players' meals =  $44.50z

Amount to rent the bus = $1051.50

The total amount of money raised by the soccer team = $1719

The equation for numbers of players will be written as:

$\ 44.50z+ \ 1051.50= \ 1719\\\ 44.50z= \ 1719- \ 1051.50\\\ 44.50z=\ 667.50\\z=\frac{\ 667.50}{\ 44.50}=15$

The number of players the team can bring to the  tournament is 15.
