20%(b-12) = 15

I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it:

(b - 12) + (0.20(b - 12)) = b

This equation represents the original bill, where (b - 12) is the reduced bill after removing the $12 dessert and 0.20(b - 12) is the 20% tip on the reduced bill. The sum of the reduced bill and the tip should equal the original bill.

Let's solve the problem step by step.

If each puzzle was originally priced at $x, and Molly bought 6 puzzles, she would have spent a total of 6x dollars.

Since each puzzle was discounted by 50¢, the sale price of each puzzle is now $x - $0.50.

According to the given information, Molly spent a total of $27 on the puzzles. So, we can form the equation:

6(x - $0.50) = $27

Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x, which represents the original cost of each puzzle:

6x - 3 = 27
6x = 27 + 3
6x = 30
x = 30/6
x = $5

Therefore, each puzzle originally cost $5.

Let's set up the equation to solve for the number of mozzarella sticks each person ate.

We know that there were 8 people in total and each person had 5 slices of pizza. So the total number of pizza slices consumed is 8 * 5 = 40 slices.

Since there were 64 pieces of food in total, and 40 of those were pizza slices, the remaining pieces must be mozzarella sticks.

To find the number of mozzarella sticks, we subtract the number of pizza slices from the total number of food pieces:

64 - 40 = 24 mozzarella sticks

Since there were 8 people, we can divide the total number of mozzarella sticks by the number of people to find the number of mozzarella sticks each person ate:

24 mozzarella sticks / 8 people = 3 mozzarella sticks

Therefore, each person ate 3 mozzarella sticks.

The expression that represents the amount of money Kayla's mom has to spend on each guest's goody bag can be derived as follows:

First, we need to determine the total cost of the food, given that the cost is $5 per person and there are 12 friends coming to the party. This can be calculated by multiplying the cost per person ($5) by the number of people (12):

Total cost of food = $5 * 12 = $60

Since the total budget for the party is $150, and $60 will be spent on food, the remaining amount of money available for the goody bags can be found by subtracting the food cost from the total budget:

Remaining budget for goody bags = Total budget - Total cost of food = $150 - $60 = $90

Now, to find the amount of money Kayla's mom has to spend on each guest's goody bag, we divide the remaining budget by the number of friends:

Amount of money for each guest's goody bag = Remaining budget / Number of friends = $90 / 12 = $7.50

Therefore, the expression that represents the amount of money Kayla's mom has to spend on each guest's goody bag is $7.50.

The correct expression that represents the amount of money Kayla's mom has to spend on each guest's goody bag is:

m + 5 = 150 / 12

We divide the total budget of $150 by the number of friends, which is 12, and we add the food cost of $5 per person.

I apologize for the confusion. The correct expression that represents the amount of money Kayla's mom has to spend on each guest's goody bag is:

m = (150 - 5 * 12) / 12

Here, we subtract the total cost of food (5 * 12) from the total budget of $150 and then divide it by the number of friends, which is 12.
