Question

A caterer charges $8 per person as well as a fee of $120 for the party. How many people can you invite if you have $320?

A. 8x + 120 = 320 B. 8+120x = 320 C. 320 - 8x = 120 D. 8x -320 = 120

Answer 1

x = the number of people

8x + 120 = 320

[they charge $8 for each person(x) plus a fee of $120, and the total amount of money you have is $320]

Your answer is A

Answer 2

The answer would be A. Because it’you have $320 so C and D are eliminated and your finding out how many people you can invite so why would you multiply that by how much the actually party costs. Hope this answer helps. Happy Thanksgiving
