Answer: 22

Explanation:

From the question the, we are informed that members of a lacrosse team raised $1352.50 to go to a tournament and that they rented a bus for $802.50 and budgeted $25 per player for meals.

The equation which can be used to determine p, the number of players the team can bring to the tournament would be calculated as:

802.50 + 25p = 1352.50

25p = 1352.50 - 802.50

25p = 550

p = 550/25

p = 22

They can bring 22 players to the tournament
