To determine the number of players the soccer team can bring to the tournament, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the remaining money after renting the bus:
- Total money raised: [tex]\( \$ 1856.75 \)[/tex]
- Cost of renting the bus: [tex]\( \$ 885.50 \)[/tex]
- Remaining money after renting the bus:
[tex]\[
\$ 1856.75 - \$ 885.50 = \$ 971.25
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the cost per player for meals:
- Cost per player for meals: [tex]\( \$ 46.25 \)[/tex]
3. Determine the number of players that can be brought to the tournament:
- Divide the remaining money by the cost per player:
[tex]\[
\frac{\$ 971.25}{\$ 46.25} = 21.0
\][/tex]
Therefore, the team can bring 21 players to the tournament.
