To find out how much each person will have left for popcorn and drinks after buying the boxes of raisins, we first need to calculate the total cost of the raisins.

  1. Each box of raisins costs $1.50.

  2. Since there are 5 people (you and 4 friends), the total cost for the boxes of raisins is: \[ 5 \text{ boxes} \times 1.50 = 7.50 \]

  3. Now, subtract the total cost of the raisins from your total budget of $25: \[ 25 - 7.50 = 17.50 \]

  4. This amount ($17.50) is what remains for popcorn and drinks. To find out how much each person can spend: \[ \frac{17.50}{5} = 3.50 \]

So, each person will have $3.50 remaining to spend on popcorn and drinks.

To find the cost per player for the banquet, we can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the total amount paid by the players: Each player pays $5, and there are 60 players. Therefore, the total amount paid by the players is: \[ 60 \text{ players} \times 5 \text{ dollars/player} = 300 \text{ dollars} \]

  2. Determine the total cost of the banquet: The total cost of the banquet is given as $960.

  3. Calculate the amount that the league will cover: The league will cover the rest of the cost. This is calculated as: \[ \text{League's Contribution} = \text{Total Cost} - \text{Total Amount from Players} \] \[ \text{League's Contribution} = 960 - 300 = 660 \text{ dollars} \]

  4. Calculate the total cost per player: To find out how much each player effectively contributes to the total cost of the banquet (both their own payment and the portion covered by the league), we can calculate the total cost per player: \[ \text{Total Cost Per Player} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Players}} = \frac{960}{60} \] \[ \text{Total Cost Per Player} = 16 \text{ dollars} \]

Thus, the cost per player for the banquet is $16.

Let’s go through the calculations again step-by-step.

  1. Total banquet cost: The total cost for the banquet is $960.

  2. Number of players: There are 60 players in the league.

  3. Amount paid by each player: Each player pays $5.

  4. Total amount paid by players: \[ \text{Total Amount from Players} = \text{Number of Players} \times \text{Amount per Player} \] \[ \text{Total Amount from Players} = 60 \times 5 = 300 \text{ dollars} \]

  5. Amount covered by the league: \[ \text{League's Contribution} = \text{Total Cost} - \text{Total Amount from Players} \] \[ \text{League's Contribution} = 960 - 300 = 660 \text{ dollars} \]

  6. Cost per player based on their contribution: Each player contributes $5 directly. However, if you want to find out the average cost per player if all costs (including the league’s contribution) were divided among players: \[ \text{Total Cost Per Player} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Players}} \] \[ \text{Total Cost Per Player} = \frac{960}{60} = 16 \text{ dollars} \]

So, if we combine what each player pays and the league’s contribution, each player's share of the total banquet cost (averaged) would still amount to $16 per player.
