Question

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 1

Hi Slauren,

Let number of blue teams be 'b'
Let number of red teams be 'r'

Total cost = 160b + 180r = 2040

b = r since its a league match and both divisions must have equal teams
so let  b = r = x

340x = 2040
x = 6

so 6 teams will play each other in each division.

Hope it helped.
Let me know if any other doubts.
Cheers !!!
