Answer 1

Answer:

188 wrestlers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$F =5w + 75$

$F = 1013$

Required

Determine the number of wrestlers (w)

We have:

$F =5w + 75$

Substitute: $F = 1013$

$1013 = 5w + 75$

Collect like terms

$5w = 1013 - 75$

$5w = 938$

Divide both sides by 5

$w = 187.6$

Round up to get the number of wrestlers

$w = 188$
