There are 12 players on a new softball team. Before the team starts playing games, the team must pay a total registration fee on
$572. Along with the registration fee, the team will also spend a total of 1240 on equipment. To pay for the registration fee and the equipment, the players held a car wash and raised $786. They then decided to sell candles for $9.50 per candle to cover the remaining cost. If each player sells the same number of candles, how many candles must each player sell?
We can find the price per arc by dividing the total price by the amount of arc. so in this case 5625 is the total money spent and 4.5 is what they get when spending that amount of money 5625 / 4.5 = 1250 The price per arc is $1250 therefore, the answer is $1250.
