Answer:
The admission cost for each player was 22.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Luke’s basketball team went to an amusement park at the end of the season.
The cost of the admission for 5 coaches and 12 players was 407.50.
The admission cost for each coach was 27.50.
Now, to find the admission cost for each player.
Total admission cost = 407.50.
Number of coaches = 5.
Admission cost for each = 27.50.
So, the cost of admission of all coaches:
[tex]27.50\times 5[/tex]
[tex]=137.50.[/tex]
Then, we deduct the cost of admission of all coaches from the total admission cost:
[tex]407.50-137.50[/tex]
[tex]=270.[/tex]
Remaining cost = 270.
Number of player = 12.
Now, to get the admission cost for each player we divide the remaining cost by number of players:
[tex]270\div 12[/tex]
[tex]=22.50.[/tex]
Therefore, the admission cost for each player was 22.50.
