School bought $548 in basketball equipment and uniforms costing 29.50 each. The total cost was 2,023.

Assume uniforms as “x”.

So we can say $29.50x is the cost of uniforms.

And $548 is the cost of basketball equipment.

The total cost is $2023.

So the equation is:

2023 = 548 + 29.50x

2023 - 548 = 29.50x

29.50x = 1475

x = 1475/29.50

x = 50

So the school brought 50 uniforms.
