Coach Roberts ordered 16 trophies from the Finish Line sports shop to give to each player at the end of the season. Since this was a bulk order, Finish Line reduced the price of each trophy by $3. Coach Roberts paid $152 in all. How much does Finish Line normally charge for a trophy?
$
Let X be the regular price of each trophy.
Coach Roberts paid 16(X-3)=$152.
16(X-3)=$152.
(X-3)=$9.50.
X=$9.50+$3=$12.50. Answer: \boxed{12.50}.
Let's assume that the original price of each trophy is $x.
Since Finish Line reduced the price of each trophy by $3, the discounted price becomes $x - $3.
Coach Roberts ordered 16 trophies, so the total cost of the trophies can be calculated as: (x - $3) * 16.
We are given that Coach Roberts paid $152 in total, so we can set up the equation:
(x - $3) * 16 = $152.
Let's solve for x:
(x - $3) * 16 = $152
16x - $48 = $152
16x = $152 + $48
16x = $200
x = $200/16
Therefore, Finish Line normally charges $12.50 for a trophy.
To find out how much Finish Line normally charges for a trophy, we need to divide the total amount Coach Roberts paid by the number of trophies he ordered.
Coach Roberts paid $152 for 16 trophies, so we can set up an equation:
Price per trophy * Number of trophies = Total amount paid
Let's represent the normal price of a trophy as x:
x * 16 = $152
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 16:
x = $152 / 16
x = $9.50
Therefore, Finish Line normally charges $9.50 for a trophy.
