Question

Members of a baseball team raised $1479.25 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is: $800.5 + 45.25p \leq 1479.25$

The team can bring at most 15 players to the tournament.

Step-by-step explanation:

They rented a bus for $800.50 and budgeted $45.25 per player for meals.

This means that the cost for bringing p players is given by:

$C(p) = 800.5 + 45.25p$

Members of a baseball team raised $1479.25 to go to a tournament.

This means that:

$C(p) \leq 1479.25$

So

$800.5 + 45.25p \leq 1479.25$

$45.25p \leq 1479.25 - 800.5$

$p \leq \frac{1479.25 - 800.5}{45.25}$

$p \leq 15$

The team can bring at most 15 players to the tournament.
