Members of a baseball team raised $1348 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus
for $880.50 and budgeted $21.25 per player for meals. Write and solve an equation
which can be used to determine x, the number of players the team can bring to the
tournament.

You can say that cost of going to a tournament is equal to the cost of renting the bus + the result of multiplying the cost per player for meals and the number of players

c=880.5+21.25x

C represents the total cost of the entire trip. Replace c with your initial budget (1348) and solve for x

1348=880.5+21.25x

Subtract 880.5

467.5=21.25x

Divide by 21.25

x=22

According to this information the team can bring 22 players to the tournament without going over the money they raised
