Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is the second option: x= 1814.74-1168.50/58.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Becasue it is the total amount they raised minus what is nedeed for the bus rental divided by the cost of the players. It will give you how many players can be brought to the the tournament.

Answer 2

Answer: Choice B

x = (1814.75 - 1168.50)/(58.75)

==============================================

Explanation:

x = number of players

58.75x = cost of all the meals for those x players

58.75x + 1168.50 = adding on the cost of the bus

58.75x + 1168.50 = 1814.75

----------

Let's solve for x.

58.75x + 1168.50 = 1814.75

58.75x = 1814.75 - 1168.50

x = (1814.75 - 1168.50)/(58.75)

x = 11

This means 11 players can go on the trip.

1 player = $58.75 in meals

11 players = 11*58.75 = $646.25 total in meal costs

646.25 +  1168.50 = 1814.75

So this confirms the answer.
