A sponsor of a youth baseball team buys new hats and jerseys for the players on the team. Each hat costs $10 and each jersey costs $20. The sponsor also donates $200 to help pay for umpires. The sponsor spends a total of $650. How many players are on the team?
$450 for hats and jerseys (650 - 200)
$30 per player for hat and jersey ... $450 / $30 = ? players
$650 - $200 (donation for umps)
= $450 (cost for hats and jerseys)
$10 + $20 = $30, so the sponsor donates $30 to each player
$450 / $30
= 15
15 players on the team
A baseball team has 1,400 to buy baseball uniforms. Each uniform costs $124. Does the team have enough money to buy 11 baseball uniform.
To solve this problem, we need to find the number of players on the team.
Let's assume there are 'x' players on the team.
The sponsor buys new hats and jerseys for all the players, so the total cost of hats will be 10 * x and the total cost of jerseys will be 20 * x.
Additionally, the sponsor also donates $200 for umpires.
According to the problem, the total amount spent is $650. So we can write the equation:
10x + 20x + 200 = 650
Combining like terms, we have:
30x + 200 = 650
Subtracting 200 from both sides, we get:
30x = 450
Dividing both sides by 30, we find:
x = 15
Therefore, there are 15 players on the baseball team.
