| |
| − | Since T-shirts cost <math>5</math> dollars more than a pair of socks, T-shirts cost <math>5+4=9</math> dollars.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since each member needs <math>2</math> pairs of socks and <math>2</math> T-shirts, the total cost for <math>1</math> member is <math>2(4+9)=26</math> dollars.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since <math>2366</math> dollars was the cost for the club, and <math>26</math> was the cost per member, the number of members in the League is <math>\frac{2366}{26}=91 \Rightarrow B</math>.
