The Greenville city soccer league has 1,230 players. Spruceburgh's league has 3 times as many players as the Greenville league. Write and solve an equation to find n, the number of players, in Sruceburgh's league.

Question

1,230 x n = 6,230, so n = 4,000
1,230 + n = 3,660, so n = 2,430
1,230 x 3 = n, so n, = 3,690
( 1,230 x 3 ) x n = 33,690, so n = 1,000

Answer 1

To find the number of players \( n \) in Spruceburgh's league, we can use the information given that Spruceburgh's league has 3 times as many players as the Greenville league.

Given:

• Number of players in Greenville league = 1,230
• Number of players in Spruceburgh league = 3 times the number of players in Greenville league

This gives us the equation: \[ n = 3 \times 1,230 \]

Now, let's calculate \( n \): \[ n = 3 \times 1,230 = 3,690 \]

So, the equation and solution for the number of players in Spruceburgh's league is: \[ n = 3,690 \]

Thus, out of the options you provided, the correct calculation for the number of players in Spruceburgh's league is: \[ \text{(Option 3): } 1,230 \times 3 = n, \text{ so } n = 3,690 \]
