A soccer coach is buying uniforms for his team and has a budget of $1,650. There are 25 players on the team, and each player will receive one jersey and one pair of shorts. The total cost of shorts for the team is $512.50. The coach wants to know how much he can afford to spend per jersey and stay within the budget. Disregard any taxes or other additional costs associated with ordering the uniforms. Write an equality.
Let x be the cost per jersey.
The total cost of jerseys is 25x.
The coach wants to stay within the budget, so 25x + 512.50 ≤ 1650.
