Question

Cheryl told her kids they could have a Halloween party at the house for their friends this year. She told them that the budget for the party is $200. They must use the budget for both the decorations and the food. They have already purchased the food, and the total cost of the food was $75. Part A: How much money do the kids have left in their budget to buy the decorations for the party? Part B Cheryl takes the kids to the store to purchase decorations. They choose 5 large pumpkins for $5.50 each, a package of fake, foam gravestones for $10.75, 10 Halloween luminaries for $2.50 each, 4 packages of cotton spiderwebs for $3.99 each, and 7 hanging plastic spiders for $5.99 each. How much did they spend on the decorations? Part C: At the register, the kids see a ghost decoration for $12.99. Do they have enough money to buy the ghost decoration?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{Budget}\Rightarrow200\text{ \$} \\ \text{food}\Rightarrow\text{\$ 75} \\ \text{Left money}\Rightarrow200-75=125\text{ \$} \\ (A)\text{ The left money=125 \$} \\ (B) \\ 5\text{ large pumpkin price}\Rightarrow5*5.50=27.5 \\ \text{Fake foam gravestones }\Rightarrow10.75 \\ 10\text{ Hallow}en\text{ luminaries}\Rightarrow10*2.5=25 \\ 4\text{ pakage of cotton}\Rightarrow4*3.99=15.96 \\ 7\text{ hanging plastics}\Rightarrow7*5.99=41.93 \\ \text{Total money spend on decoration is,} \\ \Rightarrow27.5+10.75+25+15.96+41.93=121.14 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (C) \\ \text{Now left money is}\Rightarrow125-121.14=3.86\text{ \$} \\ No,\text{ they don't have enough money to purchasing for the ghost decorations.} \end{gathered}`
