Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total amount raised is $1365.75. The tournament cost is$ 774.503. The cost per player for meals is $53.754. The number of players to be brought to the tournament is what we are trying to find5. All the money raised will be used for the tournament cost and meals for the players

STEP 2

First, we need to find out how much money is left after paying for the tournament. We can do this by subtracting the tournament cost from the total amount raised.
$Remaining\, money = Total\, amount\, raised - Tournament\, cost$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total amount raised and the tournament cost to calculate the remaining money.
$Remaining\, money = \$1365.75 - \$774.50$

STEP 4

Calculate the remaining money.
$Remaining\, money = \$136.75 - \$774.50 = \$591.25$

STEP 5

Now that we have the remaining money, we can find out how many players can be brought to the tournament. This can be done by dividing the remaining money by the cost per player for meals.
$Number\, of\, players = Remaining\, money / Cost\, per\, player\, for\, meals$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the remaining money and the cost per player for meals to calculate the number of players.
$Number\, of\, players = \$591.25 / \$53.75$

STEP 7

Calculate the number of players.
$Number\, of\, players = \$591.25 / \$53.75 =11$ The team can bring11 players to the tournament.
