Responses

5(m+12)=150
5 Left Parenthesis m plus 12 Right Parenthesis equals 150

12m+5=150
12 m plus 5 equals 150

12(m+5)=150
12 Left Parenthesis m plus 5 Right Parenthesis equals 150

m+12(5)=150

Answer 1

To find the correct expression for the amount of money Kayla's mom has to spend on each guest's goody bag, we need to consider the total costs involved.

The total budget is $150. The cost of food is $5 per person and there are 12 friends coming, which gives:

Cost of food = 5 * 12 = $60

Now, we can calculate the remaining budget for goody bags:

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

Let \( m \) be the amount of money spent on each goody bag. Since there are 12 friends, the total cost for goody bags is 12m. Therefore, we need to express the remaining budget for goody bags in terms of \( m \):

The equation for the remaining budget is:

12m = 90

However, if we look at the options given, the expression that represents the total budget consideration, including everything is:

m + 12(5) = 150

This indicates the amount spent on each goody bag as well as the cost of food.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

m + 12(5) = 150
