A:
A volleyball league organizer collected $2,040 for both divisions of volleyball teams. The Blue division costs $160 per team and the Red division cost $180 per team. How many teams will play in each division.Answer:6 teams will play in each divisionSolution:Given that volleyball league organizer collected $2,040 for both divisions of volleyball teamsThe blue division costs $160 per teamThe Red division cost $180 per team.Let the number of blue teams be "b"Let the number of red teams be "r"Total cost = number of blue teams x cost of blue division per team + number of red teams x cost of red division per teamTotal cost = 160b + 180r 2040 = 160b + 180r Assuming both divisions have the same number of teams, we substitute b = r = x2040 = 160x + 180x2040 = 340xx = 6So 6 teams will play in each division
