Members of a baseball team raise $967.50 to go to a tournament. they rented a bus for $450.00 and budgeted $28.75 per player for meals. they will spend all the money they raised.
write and solve an equation that models the situation and could be used to determine the number of players, p, the team could bring to the tournament.

The equation that models the situation is

and p=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the number of players the team could bring to the tournament.

Total amount raised by the members of a baseball team=$967.50

Rent of bus = $450.00

Budget of meal per player = $ 28.75

Thus, the total budget of meal of the base ball team = $28.75p

Now, according to the question

Hence the total number of players in the baseball team = 18.
