Question

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.
Which equation can you use to find f, the cost of each favor?
How much did each favor cost?

GPT 3.5 · Answer

The equation that can be used to find the cost of each favor is:
305 - 265 = 8f

To solve for f, we need to subtract the base cost of the party package from the upgraded total cost. Then, divide the result by the number of guests (8).

305 - 265 = 40
40 ÷ 8 = 5

Each favor costs $5.
