Question

Johnny's baseball team raised $1456 for next month's tournament. They need a total of $2,000 to play. The team has a total of 11 players. Let x represent how much each player needs to raise in order to play in the tournament.

Answer 1

Current amount available is $1,456
Total amount needed = $2,000
Remaining balance = 2000 - 1456 = $544

Let x = amount that each of the 11 players should raise.
Therefore
11x = 544
x = 544/11 = $49.45

Answer: $49.45
