Question

You are in charge of planning a reunion party for your high school alumni. The food will cost $12 per person. The rental fee for the room is $650. The entertainment fee is $730. Other miscellaneous expenses costs $1,000. If 120 alumni are expected to come then what will be the total cost? How much must each alumnus contribute to cover the cost of the reunion (round to the nearest whole number)?

Answer 1

$3820 total, $32 per alumnus.

Explanation:

The total cost will be
`12*120+650+730+1000=3820`

Each alumnus pays
`(3820)/(120) =31(5)/(6)`

Rounding to nearest whole number = $32 per alumnus.
