Question

Mary is having a party at the park. She is going to spend $438. The cost to rent the shelter is $150 plus food will cost $6 per person. How many people is Mary having at her party?

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

remove the shelter from the cost of the party by doing 438 - 150 = 288. then all the food together costs $288 so to find the amount of people, take 288 and divide it by 6 (the food cost per person). this leaves you with 48.
