Question

Deena is inviting 10 friends to a party. If she wants to spend no more than $120 on her guests, and dinner for each guest costs $8, what is the most can she spend on party favors for each person?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4 for each person

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate how much money has money other than for food

for this we multiply the number of guests by the value of each dinner

$8 * 10 = $80

Now that we have the total value of the dinner we substract from the total money

$120 - $80 = $40

This is the mount that she can spend on party favors

Then we split the $40 with the total number of guests to know how much we can spend for each person

$40/10 = $4
