Answer 1

a) Given:

They spent $2.49 on each of the 6 goodie bags.

To find the total spent:

So, we can write

`2.49*6=\text{ \$}14.94`

Hence, the answer is $14.96.

b) Given:

They spent $150 to rent a bounce house for 8 hours.

To find the rent per hour:

So, the hourly rate is,

`(150)/(8)=\text{ \$}18.75`

Hence, the answer is $18.75.

c) Given:

The total amount spent by them on the party is $182.53.

To find the excess amount they spent than part(a) and part(b):

So,

`182.53-14.94-18.75=\text{ \$}148.84`

Hence, the answer is $148.84.
