First, let's calculate the total cost for the 5 boxes of raisins. Each box is $1.50, and there are 5 boxes (one for each person).

Total cost for raisins = $1.50 * 5 = $7.50

Now, we subtract the cost of the raisins from the total amount of money you have:

Remaining money = Total amount - Cost of raisins Remaining money = $25 - $7.50 = $17.50

This remaining money is to be distributed among the 5 people (including yourself) for popcorn and drinks.

Remaining money per person = Remaining money / Number of people Remaining money per person = $17.50 / 5 = $3.50

So, the amount of money that remains per person for popcorn and a drink is $3.50.

Each player will pay $5 to attend the banquet for their soccer league, and the league will pay the rest of the cost. The total cost for the banquet is $960. If there are 60 players in the league, find the cost per player.(1 point)
$____

First, let's find out how much the players collectively contribute to the banquet. Each player pays $5, and there are 60 players.

Total amount paid by players = Number of players * Amount paid by each player Total amount paid by players = 60 * $5 = $300

Next, we need to determine how much the league will pay for the banquet. The total cost of the banquet is $960.

Amount paid by the league = Total cost of the banquet - Total amount paid by players Amount paid by the league = $960 - $300 = $660

Now, to find the cost per player (which would include both the player's contribution and what the league pays per player), we can add the total amount paid by the league to the total amount paid by the players, and then divide by the number of players:

Total cost per player = Total cost of the banquet / Number of players Total cost per player = $960 / 60 = $16

Therefore, the cost per player is $16.

Let's break this down step by step.

  1. Total Cost of Banquet: $960
  2. Number of Players: 60
  3. Amount Paid by Each Player: $5

First, we calculate the total amount contributed by all players combined:

\[ \text{Total Amount from Players} = \text{Number of Players} \times \text{Amount Paid by Each Player} \]

\[ \text{Total Amount from Players} = 60 \times 5 = 300 \]

Next, we calculate how much the league pays:

\[ \text{Amount Paid by League} = \text{Total Cost} - \text{Total Amount from Players} \] \[ \text{Amount Paid by League} = 960 - 300 = 660 \]

Now, since we want to find the total cost per player, we need to divide the total cost of the banquet by the number of players:

\[ \text{Cost per Player} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Players}} \] \[ \text{Cost per Player} = \frac{960}{60} = 16 \]

So the cost per player, which includes both their contribution and what the league pays per player, is:

$16.

I apologize if there was any confusion in my previous response! If you meant something different by finding the cost per player, please clarify, and I'll be happy to help.
