Which statement is modeled by the expression? 100p One hundred more players signed up for soccer than the league had planned for. The league had p uniforms in stock. The number of uniforms the league needs to buy to make up the difference is 100p. Each player in the league was given 100 tickets to sell. If there are p players in the league, the total number of tickets to sell is 100p After the league had supplied each player with a uniform, there were 100 uniforms left over. If there are p players in the league, 100p is the number of uniforms the league had originally. The coach received 100 tokens for the amusement park rides. If there are p players on the team, each player will receive 100p tokens.

We have the expression 100*p. This means that there is 100 of something for every p (player) due to that we multiply each p by 100. We don't know what p is, so if it states, for example, that there is 100 of something in total, that would mean that 100/100=1 and p would have to be 1, which isn't correct. In addition, be realistic - for example, there wouldn't be 100 tickets for every player to a park if everyone needed one ticket to get in.

I won't give you the answer, but the explanation should give you a pretty good idea of what it is - good luck, and feel free to ask with any questions!
