Question

3) Taylor's soccer team purchased uniforms and equipment for a total of $912. The equipment costs $612 and the uniforms cost $25 each. How many uniforms did the school purchase?

Answer 1

Answer: They purchased 12 uniforms

Explanation:

If the equipment cost $612 in total and the uniforms cost $25 each and they spent a total for $912 then we could represent it by the equation 25x + 612 = 912 where x is the number of uniforms that the school purchase.

25x + 612 = 912 solve for x by subtracting 612 from both sides

612 612

25x = 300 divide both sides by 25

x = 12
