Question

Mary spent a total of $292.58 for a party. She spent $200.72 on food, plus an additional $30.62 for each hour of the party. How long was the party?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

321.89

- 200.45= 121.44

121.44 divided by 30.36 gives us four hours

Answer 2

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the amount she spent on food from the total.

292.58-200.72=91.86

Then divide the remainder by 30.62 to find how long the party lasted.

92.86/30.62=3

The party was 3 hours long.

Hope this helps!
