Question 1

A)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?(1 point)
Responses

12(m+5)=150
12 Left Parenthesis m plus 5 Right Parenthesis equals 150

5(m+12)=150
5 Left Parenthesis m plus 12 Right Parenthesis equals 150

m+12(5)=150
m plus 12 Left Parenthesis 5 Right Parenthesis equals 150

12m+5=150
12 m plus 5 equals 150

To solve for the expression that represents the amount of money, \( m \), Kayla's mom has to spend on each guest's goody bag, let's analyze the situation.

  1. Kayla's mom has a budget of $150.
  2. The cost for food is $5 per person, and since 12 friends are coming, the total cost for food will be \( 12 \times 5 = 60 \).
  3. Therefore, the remaining budget after spending on food will be \( 150 - 60 = 90 \).

This remaining budget is to be spent on goody bags, where \( m \) represents the amount spent on each goody bag for all 12 guests. So, the total amount spent on goody bags can be expressed as \( 12m \).

Setting up the equation: \[ 12m + 60 = 150 \]

This can be rearranged to represent the amount of money left for the goody bags: \[ 12m = 150 - 60 \] \[ 12m = 90 \]

The correct expression that matches the above setup is: \[ 12m + 5 = 150 \] This option represents the total amount spent (goody bags plus food cost), but since none of the options presented fit correctly, it seems the closest one can be \( 12(m + 5) = 150 \) if it were to correctly set up in a different manner.

So, I would choose: 12(m + 5) = 150

However, to re-emphasize, the precise structure should be \( 12m + 60 = 150 \) which is not among the given options. Instead, if we treat food cost plus goody bag costs, \( 12(m + 5) = 150 \) is closest representing food cost as part of goody bags. But it’s based fundamentally on the logic to reach the right spending split.
