Question

Mr. Johnson is planning his wife's 50th birthday party. He has told the restaurant to plan on 50 people and they gave him a cost of $8.50 per person. The actual number of people that came to the party was 36% more than expected. How much more will Mr. Johnson have to pay for the extra people? need example too please​

Answer 1

It will cost a total of $153.00 MORE

Explanation:

If the planned amount was 50 people and 36% more showed up we would need to calculate 50x.36= 18. Then multiply 18 by the cost per person meaning 18x8.5=$153.00

Answer 2

$153 more

Explanation:

50 x .36 = 18

50 + 18 = 68

50 x 8.5 = 425

68 x 8.5 = 578

578 - 425 = 153
