Estelle is having her birthday party at Gold Frames Art Museum this year. A party package costs $265 and covers the entrance fee for guests, a private party room, and an activity guide. Estelle upgraded her package to include a favor for each of her 8 guests, bringing the total to $305.

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Let f be the cost of each favor.

The equation that can be used to find f is:

265 + 8f = 305

To solve for f, we can subtract 265 from both sides:

8f = 305 - 265

8f = 40

Dividing both sides by 8:

f = 40/8

f = 5

Each favor cost $5.
