Answer:

The DJ can play at the dance for 6 Hours

Explanation:

1. Add the decorations and food plus the additional fee of $12

$175+ $125= $300

2. Subtract the budget and the total so far

750-300= 450

3. Get the amount owed per hour to DJ and divide by the new budget

450/75= 6

The DJ can play at the dance for 6 hours

Have a good day!
