PLEASE HELP

The Miller family spent a total of $317.05 hosting a party for their grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. They spent $48.55 on decorations and $8.95 per person on food.

Which equation could be used to find the number of people (x) at the anniversary party?

A.
48.55 + 8.95x = 317.05
B.
48.55x + 8.95 = 317.05
C.
48.55x − 8.95 = 317.05
D.
48.55 − 8.95x = 317.05

Answer 1

the answer is A.
the decorations were a total of 48.55 , and we know that per person the cost is 8.95 , but since we don’t know how many people went , your variable would be attached there
