Members of a lacrosse team raised $1793.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $757.50 and budgeted $64.75 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x
x, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

They can bring 16 students to the tournament

Step-by-step explanation:

$1793.50 - $757.50 = 1063

$1063 / $64.75 = 16

16 students

Hello :)

This question gave us a flat charge of 757.50 dollars for the bus, which means it does not depend how many members of the lacrosse team ride the bus.

However, the meals cost 64.75 per member.

So to make an equation, the bus charge would be the y-intercept (If no member went, they still paid for the bus fee) and the meals would be the slope (since it is dependent on how many members ride the bus.)

The total would add up to be 1783.50, so the equation would be:

1793.50=64.75x+757.50 where x=the number of players the team can bring to the tournament without going outside of their budget

Let's solve now.

1793.50=64.75x+757.50

-757.50              -757.50

1036=64.75x

x=16

there are no figures how am i supposed to answer this question
