A team of 12 got an award of 1,800 for winning a championship football game. If the captain of the team is allowed to keep $315, how much money would each of the players get?

A. $135

B. $125

C. $150

D. $123.75

Please Please help.

A. $135

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you set up your base information. So, the team is made up of 12 players, but the captain already is allowed to keep a certain amount, so we subtract her/him out of the equation.

12 players - 1 = 11 players

Then, you subtract what the captain is supposed to get from the total amount of money the team won. So, the total amount of money is $1,800 and the captain's allowed to keep $315. You subtract 1,800 by 315 to get the captain's pre-decided money out of the way.

$1,800 - $315 = $1,485

Finally, you divide the money that's left to the remaining players.

$1,485/11 players

This gives you...

$135 per player
