Answer:

188 wrestlers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]F =5w + 75[/tex]

[tex]F = 1013[/tex]

Required

Determine the number of wrestlers (w)

We have:

[tex]F =5w + 75[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]F = 1013[/tex]

[tex]1013 = 5w + 75[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]5w = 1013 - 75[/tex]

[tex]5w = 938[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]w = 187.6[/tex]

Round up to get the number of wrestlers

[tex]w = 188[/tex]
