The king and queen spent $1500 on decorations for the ball +8 dollars per guest for party favors. The king and queen are charging each guest $12 to enter the dance. How many guests must come to the ball for the king and queen to break even? (you must write an equation and then solve)

Answer:

375 guests

Explanation:

costs: 1500 + 8g

income: 12g

They must be equal

1500+8g = 12g

Subtract 8g from each side

1500 +8g-8g =12g-8g

1500= 4g

Divide by 4

1500/4 = 4g/4

375 = g
