Sagot :

$1,836 minus the $612 equipment = $1,224 divide $1,224 by $25.50 for each uniform and get 24 uniforms as an answer
You have to put a equation:
[tex]1836 = 612 + 25,50x[/tex]⇔[tex]1836-612=25,50x[/tex]⇔[tex]1224 = 25,50x[/tex]⇔[tex]x= \frac{1224}{25,50} [/tex]⇔[tex]x=48[/tex]
The school purchased 48 uniforms.
