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?

Respuesta :

Answer: They purchased  12 uniforms

Step-by-step 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
