Answer:

The number of players the team can bring to the tournament is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, the equation would express that the total cost to go to the tournament is equal to the price to rent a bus plus the result of multiplying the amount per player for meals for the number of players.

Total cost=896.50+47x, where:

x is the number of players

Now, as you know that the softball team raised $1,648.50 to go to a tournament, you can replace the total cost with this number and solve for x:

1,648.50=896.50+47x

1,648.50-896.50=47x

752=47x

x=752/47

x=16

According to this, the answer is that the number of players the team can bring to the tournament is 16.

Answer:

Equation:  47x + 896.5 = 1648.5

X= 16
