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.

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

Answered by marko
so 65.00 + r/6 + $160.00
Answered by Ms. Sue
You haven't written an equation.

Answered by marko
65.00 + r/6 + $160.00
Answered by Ms. Sue
An equation needs an equal sign.

Answered by marko
65.00 + r/6 = $160.00

Answered by Ms. Sue
That answer doesn't make any sense.

In your equation r = 15.83

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

Answered by marko
$160.00 /6 = x
Answered by Ms. Sue
Nope!

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

6(160 - 65) = t

Answered by marko
t = 570.00
Answered by Ms. Sue
Right. Doesn't that make sense?

Answered by mackenzie
6(160-65)=p
160-65= 95
6(95)=p
p= $570
