Answer:

The equation is: [tex]800.5 + 45.25p \leq 1479.25[/tex]

The team can bring at most 15 players to the tournament.

Step-by-step explanation:

They rented a bus for $800.50 and budgeted $45.25 per player for meals.

This means that the cost for bringing p players is given by:

[tex]C(p) = 800.5 + 45.25p[/tex]

Members of a baseball team raised $1479.25 to go to a tournament.

This means that:

[tex]C(p) \leq 1479.25[/tex]

So

[tex]800.5 + 45.25p \leq 1479.25[/tex]

[tex]45.25p \leq 1479.25 - 800.5[/tex]

[tex]p \leq \frac{1479.25 - 800.5}{45.25}[/tex]

[tex]p \leq 15[/tex]

The team can bring at most 15 players to the tournament.
