Answer 2

Answer:

Each player need to sell 9 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To start find total amount of money they need by adding registration fee and the equipment.

$572+$1,240=$1812=$1812

Then find out how much they still need after the car wash.

$1812-$786=$1026

They then decided to sell candles for $9.50 per candle

equal out to be a total of $1026.

$9.50x=$1026

$9.50x/9.50=$1026/9.50

x=108

There are 12 players on a new softball team.Then 108 divide by 12.

108/12=9

Each player need to sell 9 candles.
