Question

Madeline hosted a dinner party at her favorite restaurant. She had to pay $15 per guest. The restaurant took $60 off the bill due to a mistake in the order. If the final bill is $675, how many guests attended the dinner party?

Answer 1

$675=15g-$60

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is 41.

Let the number of guest be x.
$15 per guest is: 15x
There is addition of $60 because of the mistake: +60
The final bill was 675:
675 = 15x + 60
675 - 60 = 15x
615 = 15x
x = 615 / 15
x = 41
