Question

ASAP PLZZZ I NEED HELP

At the opening of a new art gallery, the owner hired a caterer to serve light snacks. The owner created a budget for 150 people to attend the opening, with a per person food cost of $4.25. If the number of guests attending the opening was 56% more than expected, then how much was the final food cost?

Answer 1

994.5

Explanation:

First, you need to figure out how many people are actually attending the event. It says that there are 50% more so we are going to have to add 56% of 150 to 150.

150 x 0.56 = 84

150 + 84 = 234

Now, we have to multiply this by 4.25, because this is the cost of the food per person.

234 x 4.25 = 994.5
