Devin was in charge of the food for his family reunion. He called Dainty Dish Catering and ordered dinner and dessert for 50 people. The person taking the order explained that the dessert would add $5.25 to the cost of each meal. Devin's total came to $750.

Which equation can you use to find how much money, m, Dainty Dish charges for each dinner?

Answer:

x = 9.75

Explanation:

50(x+5.25)=750

50x + 262.5 = 750

50x = 487.550

x=487.5

x = 9.75
