To find the total cost to use the caterer for the party, we need to consider the cost for setting up the meal and the cost for the food.
First, let's calculate the cost of food for 12 people. The caterer charges $150 for enough food for 12 people.
To find the cost per person for food, we divide the total cost by the number of people:
Cost per person for food = $150 / 12 = $12.50
Now that we know the cost per person for food, we can calculate the total cost of food for 32 people using the same method:
Total cost of food for 32 people = $12.50 x 32 = $400
Next, we need to consider the cost for setting up the meal. The caterer charges $50 for setting up a meal.
Finally, to calculate the total cost to use the caterer for the party, we add the cost of food and the cost of setting up:
Total cost = Cost of food + Cost for setting up
Total cost = $400 + $50 = $450
Therefore, the total cost to use the caterer for the party will be $450.
