Question

Christian and Lea are in charge of planning the school prom. They will spend $250 on decorations. Dinner will cost $12 per person (p) that attends theprom. Which equation represents the total cost (t) of the prom for any number of students attending?p = 250t + 12p = 12 + 250t=12p - 250t = 250p + 12

Answer 1

If one object costs $x then p objects will cost $px.

Given data:

It is given that they spend $250 on decorations and $12 per person for dinner.

Now the cost $250 is fixed.

Now, if cost od dinner for one person is $12.

So the cost of dinner for p persons will be $12p

Therefore, total cost 't' will be

`t=12p+250`
