The number of players that can be taken to the tournament is 12 players.
The equation that can be used to represent the total amount spent by the soccer team is:
Total amount spent = cost of rented bus + (cost per meal x total number of players)
$1530.50 = $1164.50 + $30.50x
Where: x = total number of player
In order to determine the value of x, the following steps would be taken:
Combine similar terms
$1530.50 - $1164.50 = $30.50x
$366 = $30.50x
Divide both sides of the equation by 30.50
x = $366 / $30.50
x = 12 players
