You can put this solution on YOUR website!
since you know how much was spent on the equipment ($598.00) subtract that from the total (1762-598=1164) now you know how much money was spent on the uniforms so you divide the remainder of the money by the price of each uniform (1164 / 24.25=48) so 48 uniforms were purchased.
