Question

a soccer coach is buying uniforms for his team and has a budget of 1,650. there are 25 players in the team and each player would receive one jersey and one pair of shorts. the total cost of the shorts for the team is 512.50 . the coach wants to know how much he can afford to spend per jersey and stay within the budget. disregard any taxes or other additional costs associated with ordering the uniforms.

Answer 1

Answer:

$45.50

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost = jersey cost + short cost = 512.50 + jersey cost = 1650

512.50 + jersey cost = 1650

subtract 512.50 from both sides to isolate jerset cost

jersey cost = 1137.5

25 jerseys = total jersey cost = 1137.5

divide both sides by 25 to find individual jersey cost

individual jersey cost = total jersey cost/25 = 1137.5/25 = $45.50
