To find out how many goals each top player scored, let's break down the given information step by step and calculate accordingly:
1. Let's first represent the number of goals Erin scored as E.
2. Since Macy scored four times as many goals as Erin, we can express Macy's goals as 4E.
3. Carly scored 2 less goals than Macy, so Carly's goals can be represented as (4E - 2).
4. Shelly scored half as many goals as Carly, which gives us (1/2)*(4E - 2).
5. Finally, Molly scored 1 more goal than Macy, so Molly's goals can be expressed as (4E + 1).
Now, let's sum up the goals of all the top players and set it equal to the total goals (253):
E + 4E + (4E - 2) + (1/2)*(4E - 2) + (4E + 1) = 253
Now we can solve this equation to find the value of E and then calculate the goals for each player.
