Respuesta :

Equation: 180 + 12u = 756

the cost of one uniform is $48

Explanation:

Total number of players = 12

The cost per basketball = $15

Total cost for uniform and basket balls = $756

let the cost of each uniform = u

The equation becomes:

Total number of players(The cost per basketball ) + Total number of players( cost of each uniform)

12($15) + 12(u) = $756

180 + 12u = 756

To get u, we subtract 180 from both sides:

180 - 180 + 12u = 756 - 180

12u = 576

u = 576/12

u = 48

Hence, the cost of one uniform is $48
