Answer:

8 players will get all these items.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 8th grade soccer team has a budget of $650.

Soccer cleats cost $40, shin guards cost $20, and the uniform cost $15.

And all these are required by all players.

So, total cost per player = [tex]40+20+15=75[/tex] dollars

And total money the team has = $650

So, the number of players that will be covered from this budget is =

[tex]\frac{650}{75}[/tex] = 8.66 (rounded to 8)

So, a total of 8 players will get all these items.

Note: If we round this to 9, then the budget will exceed to [tex]9\times75=675[/tex] dollars
