Answer:

$19

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make an equation to represent this problem.

The coach is buying each player a basketball ($9) and a uniform, the unknown amount. Lets represent the unknown cost of the uniform with x.

The coach spent a total of $420.

Since the coach is buying 15 basketballs and 15 uniforms, our equation would look like:

15(9) + 15(x) = 420

First, multiply 15 * 9 and 15 * x

We get:

135 + 15x = 420

Subtract 135 from both sides

135 + 15x - 135 = 420 - 135

We get:

15x = 285

Divide by 15 on both sides.

[tex]\frac{15x}{15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{285}{15}[/tex]

We get:

x = 19

So, 1 uniform equals $19

I would appreciate brainliest, if not that's ok!
