Question

Nate's retirement party will cost $35 if he invites 7 guests. If there are 10 guests, how much will Nate's retirement party cost? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

Given that the cost of inviting 7 guests is $35, then the cost of inviting only one is:

`(35)/(7)=5`

dollars.

Therefore, the cost of inviting 10 guests is:

`10*5`

dollars.

Simplifying the above result, we get:

`50`

dollars.

Answer: $50.
