Question

John and his friends have set up a basketball tournament. He can rent a basketball field for a daily

charge of $210 and equipment for $160 per day. If he hires independent umpires, he would need

to pay $260 for the day. He would arrange caps for each player at the cost of $4 each. If John can

get 90 people to participate, what would he have to charge each of them to recover the cost?​

Answer 1

Answer:

He would have to charge $ 11 per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Rent of the basketball field = $210,

equipment cost = $ 160,

Spending on empires = $260,

Cost of cap for each player = $ 4,

⇒ Cost of cap for 90 players = $ 360,

So, the total cost = 210 + 160 + 260 + 4 + 360 = $ 990,

Hence, the charge on each player to recover the expending = $\frac{990}{90}$

= $ 11
