cost $1.50 per person, and $25.00 to spend on gift bags that cost $3.00 per person. Which expression could be used to show
the amount of money he will have left over if x people attend the party?
50+ 7x
100-7x
2.50%+1.50x+3.00x
100-(2.50x-1.50x-3.00%)

Answer 1

Answer:100-7x

Explanation:

If x people are coming, he will spend the following

Sandwiches =2.50 × x= 2.50x

Drinks = 1.50 × x= 1.50x

Gift bags =3 × x=3x

Money left

Sandwiches = 50-2.50x

Drinks =25-1.60x

Gift bags = 25-3x

Total money left = 50-2.50x+25-1.50x+25-3x

=50+25+25-2.50x-1.50x-3x

=100-7x
