Question

Megan's family is hosting a bridal shower for her and will invite 36 people. Megan's wedding colors are teal and peach. Megan's mom would like to purchase candles in her wedding colors and ribbons to wrap them with as a favor for each person who attends the shower. The price for teal candles is 70 cents each, the peach candles are 48 cents each, and a roll of ribbon is $ 7.88 . Calculate how much they will spend on favors if they wrap one teal and two peach candles with ribbon for each guest.

Answer 1

The total cost for Megan's mom to provide teal and peach candles wrapped with ribbon for each of the 36 guests at the bridal shower will be $67.68.

Certainly! Let's calculate how much Megan's mom will spend on the bridal shower favors:

Cost of candles per guest:

* Teal candle: $0.70

* Two peach candles: 2 * $0.48 = $0.96

* Total cost per guest: $0.70 + $0.96 = $1.66

**Cost of ribbon per guest:**

* One roll of ribbon: $7.88

* Number of guests: 36

* Cost per guest: $7.88 / 36 = $0.22

Total cost per guest:

* Candles: $1.66

* Ribbon: $0.22

* Total: $1.66 + $0.22 = $1.88

Total cost for the shower:

* Cost per guest: $1.88

* Number of guests: 36

* Total cost: $1.88 * 36 = **$67.68**

Therefore, Megan's mom will spend **$67.68** on bridal shower favors.
