To determine the number of players the team can bring to the tournament, you'll want to set up an equation based on the total funds available after paying for the bus. The total amount raised is \( \$ 1818.50 \), and the cost of the bus is \( \$ 960.50 \). This leaves us with: \[ 1818.50 - 960.50 = 858 \] Now, if we let \( p \) be the number of players, the total meal cost for the players would be \( 35.75p \). The equation to represent this situation is: \[ 35.75p = 858 \] Now, solving for \( p \): \[ p = \frac{858}{35.75} \approx 24 \] So, the team can bring approximately 24 players to the tournament! Answer: \( p = 24 \)
