The school purchased baseball equipment and uniforms for a total cost of $1,836. The equipment cost $612, and the uniforms were $25.50 each. How many uniforms did the school purchase?

Verified Answer :

$1,836 minus the $612 equipment = $1,224
divide $1,224 by $25.50 for each uniform and get
24 uniforms as an answer

You have to put a equation:
\(1836 = 612 + 25,50x\)⇔\(1836-612=25,50x\)⇔\(1224 = 25,50x\)⇔\(x= \frac{1224}{25,50}\)⇔\(x=48\)
The school purchased 48 uniforms.
