Kayla’s mom is planning her birthday party. She has a budget of $150. She knows that the food will cost $5 per person. Twelve friends are coming to the party. Which expression represents the amount of money, m , Kayla’s mom has to spend on each guest’s goody bag

Answer 1

The expression that represents the amount of money, m, Kayla’s mom has to spend on each guest’s goody bag is:

m = (total budget - cost of food) ÷ number of guests

m = ($150 - $5 × 12) ÷ 12

m = ($150 - $60) ÷ 12

m = $90 ÷ 12

m = $7.50

Therefore, Kayla’s mom has to spend $7.50 on each guest’s goody bag.
