A. To find the total amount of money the coach will collect from the 2 players on Friday, we can look at the pattern of the amount collected from previous days.

On Monday, with 4 players, the coach collected $88.
On Tuesday, with 7 players, the coach collected $154.
On Wednesday, with 6 players, the coach collected $132.
On Thursday, with 3 players, the coach collected $66.

To find the amount collected from 2 players on Friday, we can calculate the average amount collected per player over the four days:

Total amount collected from Monday to Thursday: $88 + $154 + $132 + $66 = $440
Total number of players from Monday to Thursday: 4 + 7 + 6 + 3 = 20

Average amount collected per player: $440 / 20 = $22

Therefore, the coach will collect $22 from each of the 2 players on Friday, resulting in a total of $22 x 2 = $44.

B. The rule to calculate the amount of money the coach will collect from p players can be expressed as follows:

Amount collected = Average amount collected per player x Number of players

In this case, the average amount collected per player is $22, and the number of players is p. So, the rule would be:

Amount collected = $22 x p

C. If the coach collects a total of $550 after every player on her team has paid the fee, we can use the rule mentioned above to solve for the total number of players.

Amount collected = $550
Average amount collected per player = $22 (as calculated before)

Using the formula:

$550 = $22 x p

To solve for p:

p = $550 / $22
p = 25

Therefore, the total number of players on the soccer team is 25.
