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)

Question

$__

Answer 1

To find the cost per player, first calculate the total amount collected from the players. Each player pays $5, and there are 60 players.

Total amount collected from players: \[ 5 \text{ dollars/player} \times 60 \text{ players} = 300 \text{ dollars} \]

Now, to find the amount that the league has to pay, subtract the total amount collected from the total cost of the banquet: \[ 960 \text{ dollars} - 300 \text{ dollars} = 660 \text{ dollars} \]

Now, to find the total cost per player, we need to calculate the total cost per player, which is the total cost of the banquet divided by the number of players: \[ \text{Total cost per player} = \frac{960 \text{ dollars}}{60 \text{ players}} = 16 \text{ dollars/player} \]

Therefore, the cost per player is: \[ \boxed{16} \]

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. Let's clarify the question and calculations step by step.

The total cost of the banquet is $960. Each player pays $5 to attend, and there are 60 players.

1. Total amount collected from players: \[ \text{Total from players} = 5 , \text{dollars/player} \times 60 , \text{players} = 300 , \text{dollars} \]

2. The league pays the remainder, which is: \[ \text{Amount paid by league} = 960 , \text{dollars} - 300 , \text{dollars} = 660 , \text{dollars} \]

However, if you're looking for the cost per player in a different context:

The cost per player (considering the actual cost of the banquet divided by the number of players) is: \[ \text{Cost per player} = \frac{960 , \text{dollars}}{60 , \text{players}} = 16 , \text{dollars} \]

If this is not what you were looking for, could you please clarify what you mean by "no"? Are you asking for a different calculation or interpretation? Thank you!

Answer 4

that's wrong

Answer 5

I apologize for any misunderstanding. Let’s carefully re-evaluate the problem step-by-step to find the appropriate cost per player.

Problem Statement:

• Total cost for the banquet: $960
• Number of players: 60
• Fee paid by each player to attend: $5

Objective:

To find out how much each player effectively pays toward the total cost.

Calculation Steps:

1. Total amount collected from all players: \[ \text{Total collected} = \text{Number of players} \times \text{Fee per player} = 60 \times 5 = 300 \text{ dollars} \]

2. Amount the league pays: \[ \text{Amount paid by league} = \text{Total cost} - \text{Total collected} = 960 - 300 = 660 \text{ dollars} \]

3. Total cost per player (including the league’s contribution): The total cost per player, considering both what each player pays and what the league contributes to the banquet can be calculated by the total cost divided by the number of players: \[ \text{Total cost per player} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of players}} = \frac{960}{60} = 16 \text{ dollars} \]

Conclusion:

Every player effectively contributes $16 towards the total cost of the banquet when factoring in both their own fee and the league's contribution.

If your question is about only the amount each player pays (the initial fee), then that's simply $5.

If you meant something else or require a different interpretation, please let me know! Thank you for your patience.
