Answer 1

A volleyball league organizer collected $2,040 for both divisions of volleyball teams. The Blue division costs $160 per team and the Red division cost $180 per team. How many teams will play in each division.

Answer:

6 teams will play in each division

Solution:

Given that volleyball league organizer collected $2,040 for both divisions of volleyball teams

The blue division costs $160 per team

The Red division cost $180 per team.

Let the number of blue teams be "b"

Let the number of red teams be "r"

Total cost = number of blue teams x cost of blue division per team + number of red teams x cost of red division per team

Total cost = 160b + 180r

2040 = 160b + 180r

Assuming both divisions have the same number of teams, we substitute b = r = x

2040 = 160x + 180x

2040 = 340x

x = 6

So 6 teams will play in each division
