Question

Molly is having her birthday party at Pizza Party Palace. The costs involved are listed below. Pizza Party Palace requires a 10% deposit prior to the date of the event. If the deposit has been paid, how much is still owed for Molly's party?

a) $48
b) $384
c) $432
d) $96

Answer 1

After calculating the total cost using the 10% deposit amount, the remainder owed for Molly's party is found to be $432.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much is still owed for Molly's party after paying the deposit, we need to know the total cost of the event. However, the total cost is not provided in the question, so we'll have to use the deposit amount to find the total cost. If a 10% deposit has been paid and the deposit amount options are provided as the answer choices, we can deduce the total cost by selecting the deposit amount that is 10% of a larger total.

Assuming the deposit option ($48) is 10% of the total cost, we multiply $48 by 10 to get the total cost of $480. Then, we subtract the deposit from the total cost: $480 - $48 = $432. So, if Molly paid a $48 deposit, the remaining balance owed would be $432, which corresponds to answer choice (c).
