Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Members of a softball team raised $2039.50 to go to a tournament. They rented a bus for $1157.50 and budgeted $49 per player for meals.

To calculate the total number of players they can bring, we need to use the following formula:

Total amount of money= fixed cost + unitary variable cost*number of players

2,039.5= 1,157.5 + 49*number of players

882/49= number of players

18 = number of players

Answer:

49x+1157.50=2039.50

x=18
