A company decides to sponsor an employee bowling team. The cost to form the team is $180 per team member plus a onetime $25 team-registration
fee.

What is the maximum number of team members who can join the team, if the company can spend $925 for the bowling team?


Solution

Correct answer: 5.
o solve this problem, we need to find the maximum number of team members that the company can afford to sponsor, given the total budget of $925.

Given information:
The cost to form the team is $180 per team member.
There is a one-time $25 team-registration fee.
The company can spend $925 for the bowling team.

Let's define the variables:
x = number of team members
The total cost for the bowling team is the sum of the cost per team member and the one-time team-registration fee:
Total cost = (Cost per team member * Number of team members) + One-time team-registration fee
Total cost = (180*x) + 25

925 = (180*x) + 25
Solving for x:
925 − 25 = 180 * x900 = 180*xx = 900 / $180
x = 5

Therefore, the maximum number of team members who can join the team is 5.
