Question

Carl hires a caterer to provide food for his birthday. The caterer

charges him $250 for food and supplies and $25 per hour to serve during
the party. Carl ends up paying $325 total. How many hours did the caterer
serve? Use 25x+250=325 as your equation to solve.

Answer 1

3 hours

Explanation:

You must first subtract 250 from 325. THis gives 75 left over. Then divide that by 25 to find x. This gives 3.

Answer 2

3 hours

Explanation:

25x = 325-250

25x = 75

x = 75/25

x= 3 hours
