Question

There are 12 players on a new softball team.Before the team starts playing games,the team must pay a total registration fee of $1,240 on equipment. To pay for the cost of 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 costs.If each player sell the same number of candles,how many candles must each player sell?

Answer 1

$1240 - $786 = $454

$454 divides by $9.50 which is $47.79 which is almost $48

There are 12 players so each must sell 4 candles
