Question

1. A caterer charges a flat fee plus $8.50 per

person. If the total cost for a party of 65 people
was $601.50, how much would they charge for
a party of 150 people?

Answer 1

$1,324

Explanation:

$8.50 * 65 = $552.50. $601.50 - $552.50 = $49. So the flat fee would be $49.

$8.50* 150 = $1,275. With the flat fee it would be $1,275+$49 = $1,324.
