Question

five soccer players each contributed and equal share toward a $50 gift for their coach. Write and solve an algebraic equation to find out how much each player paid.

Answer 1

Answer:$10 each

Step-by-step explanation: We can denote the amount each player pays by x. Since the amounts are equal, and there are 5 soccer players, the total is 5x. We are told that the total is 50, so 5x=50. Hence, x = $10. So each soccer player pays $10 each.
