Answer:the admission cost for each player is $22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the admission cost for each player.
Luke's basketball team went to an amusement park at the end of the season. The cost of the admission for 5 coaches and 12 players was 407.50. The admission cost for each coach was 27.50. This means that
5 × 27.50 + 12x = 407.5
137.5 + 12x = 407.5
Subtracting 137.5 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes
12x + 137.5 - 137.5= 407.5 - 137.5
12x = 270
Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 12, it becomes
12x/12 = 270/12
x = 270/12 = 22.5
Answer:
$22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the cost for each player, first, let us find the cost of all coaches, then the rest will be for the players
Step 1: Multiply the cost for 1 coach by 5
[tex]27.50 \times 5 = 137.5[/tex]
Step 2: Subtract the result from the total amount of both players and coaches
[tex]407.50 - 137.5 = 270[/tex]
Now we have found the total cost of all 12 players. Next up, we need to find the cost of just one player
Step 3: Divide the result by the number of players
[tex]270 \div 5[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{270}{5}[/tex]
[tex]= 22.5[/tex]
The admission cost for each player was 22.5 dollars.
