Headbands

Bill is making accessories for the soccer team. He uses 784.14 inches of fabric on headbands for 39 players and 3 coaches. He also uses 377.52 inches of fabric on wristbands for just the players. How much fabric was used on a headband and wristband for each player?

Correct answer:

x =  28.35 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=784.14\text{in} \\ b=377.52\text{in} \\ {n}_1=39 \\ {n}_2=3 \\ x=\frac{a}{n_1+n_2}+\frac{b}{n_1}=\frac{784.14}{39+3}+\frac{377.52}{39}=28.35\text{inch} \end{gathered}$$
