To find the cost of each party favor, we first need to determine the total additional cost for the favors added to the original party package.
The original party package cost is $265. Estelle upgraded her package, bringing the total cost to $305.
To find the total additional cost for the favors, we subtract the original package cost from the upgraded package cost:
\[
\text{Total Additional Cost} = \text{Upgraded Cost} - \text{Original Cost} = 305 - 265 = 40
\]
Now that we know the total cost for the favors is $40, we need to find out the cost of each favor. Since Estelle has 8 guests, we divide the total additional cost by the number of guests:
\[
\text{Cost Per Favor} = \frac{\text{Total Additional Cost}}{\text{Number of Guests}} = \frac{40}{8} = 5
\]
Thus, the cost of each party favor is \(\$5\).
