To find the cost per player, we need to calculate how much each player will contribute toward the total cost of the banquet and how much the league will cover.
- Each player pays $5.
- With 60 players, the total amount paid by players is: \[ \text{Total contributed by players} = \text{Number of players} \times \text{Cost per player} = 60 \times 5 = 300 \]
- The total cost of the banquet is $960. The league will cover the remaining cost: \[ \text{Cost covered by the league} = \text{Total cost} - \text{Total contributed by players} = 960 - 300 = 660 \]
The question asks for "the cost per player." Given the context, if you are referring to the contribution each player makes, it is already stated as $5.
If you meant to find the total cost burden per player including the league’s contribution, you would calculate it as follows:
- The total cost per player (including the league's contribution) would be: \[ \text{Total cost per player} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of players}} = \frac{960}{60} = 16 \]
Thus, each player's total cost covering the banquet, including league support, would be $16.
In summary:
- Contribution per player: $5
- Total cost per player (including league cost): $16
