SCCA is getting a baseball team. They purchased equipment and uniforms for a total cost of $842. The equipment cost $506 and the uniforms were $28 each. How many uniforms did the school purchase? Use n to represent the number of uniforms purchased. Use the equation 506 + 28n= 842
To solve for n, first we need to isolate the variable (n) on one side of the equation by moving the constant (506) to the other side:
506 + 28n = 842
28n = 842 - 506
28n = 336
Then, we can solve for n by dividing both sides by 28:
n = 336/28
n = 12
So the school purchased 12 uniforms.
To find the number of uniforms purchased, we need to solve the equation 506 + 28n = 842 for the variable n.
Step 1: Subtract 506 from both sides of the equation to isolate 28n:
506 + 28n - 506 = 842 - 506
28n = 336
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 28 to solve for n:
28n/28 = 336/28
n = 12
Therefore, the school purchased 12 uniforms.
