$22/player, so ...
A. To find the amount of money the coach will collect from the 2 additional players on Friday, we can observe the pattern in the given information.
On Monday, the coach collected $88 from 4 players.
On Tuesday, the coach collected $154 from 7 players.
On Wednesday, the coach collected $132 from 6 players.
On Thursday, the coach collected $66 from 3 players.
To calculate the amount collected from each player, we can divide the total amount collected by the number of players. Then, we can use this average amount to find the amount collected from 2 players.
Average amount per player = Total amount collected / Number of players
For each day:
Monday: Average amount per player = $88 / 4 = $22
Tuesday: Average amount per player = $154 / 7 = $22
Wednesday: Average amount per player = $132 / 6 = $22
Thursday: Average amount per player = $66 / 3 = $22
Since the average amount remains the same, we can assume that on Friday, the coach will collect $22 from each player. Therefore, the coach will collect $22 x 2 = $44 from the 2 additional players.
B. We can represent a rule to calculate the amount of money the coach will collect from p players using symbols. Let "A" represent the amount of money and "p" represent the number of players.
The rule can be written as:
A = 22p
This means that the amount collected ($A) is equal to the average amount per player ($22) multiplied by the number of players (p).
C. According to the given information, after every player on the team has paid, the coach will have a total of $550. To find the total number of players on the team, we need to reverse the calculation.
Total amount collected = Average amount per player x Number of players
Since the average amount per player is $22 and the total amount collected is $550, we can set up the equation:
$22 x Number of players = $550
To find the number of players (p), divide both sides of the equation by $22:
Number of players = $550 / $22 = 25
Therefore, the total number of players on the team is 25.
