Question

Write an equation for each problem:

1) Ally had $24 to spend on 7 pencils. After buying them, she has $10 left. How much was each pencil?

2) A catering company charges $10 per person, plus a set-up fee of $200. If you have a budget of $400 for your party, how many people can you invite?

Answer 1

1) 24-10= 14 then 14÷7=2 so each pencil was $2

2) so you can already take of $200 because you need it no matter what so: 400-200=200 then 200÷10=20 so 20 peaple can be invited
