i don't know how to do this without knowing how many days they are staying at the hotel? or can i still do this problem?
im stuck.

Answer 1

I think you have to assume that each family stays at the motel just one night.

Answer 2

so 65.00 + r/6 + $160.00

Answer 3

You haven't written an equation.

Answer 4

65.00 + r/6 + $160.00

Answer 5

An equation needs an equal sign.

Answer 6

65.00 + r/6 = $160.00

Answer 7

That answer doesn't make any sense.

In your equation r = 15.83

You need to find the total cost of the reunion party.

Answer 8

$160.00 /6 = x

Answer 9

Nope!

Each family pays $160. Of that amount, $65 is for the hotel room.

6(160 - 65) = t

Answer 10

t = 570.00

Answer 11

Right. Doesn't that make sense?

Answer 12

6(160-65)=p
160-65= 95
6(95)=p
p= $570

Answer 13
