Answer 1

Option B.

Explanation:

Jessie plans 8 parties in the month of September.

Each party's breakdown cost:

Venue : $125

For 8 parties : $125×8 = $1500

Gifts : $4.99 per gust

For g guests : $4.99g

Food : $35.99 per guest

For g guests : $35.99g

Games : $11.49 per guest

For g guests : $11.49g

Sound equipment : $174.49 for one month

So for September (8 parties) sound equipment : $174.49

Total cost of 8 parties = $1500 + $4.99g + $35.99g + $11.49g + $174.49

= $1674.49 + $52.47g

Therefore, Coefficient of g will define Jessie's cost per party in September for Gifts, Food and Games.

Option B. is the answer.
