Estelle is having her birthday party at Gold Frames Art Museum this year. A party package costs $265 and covers the entrance fee for guests, a private party room, and an activity guide. Estelle upgraded her package to include a favor for each of her 8 guests, bringing the total to $305.
Which equation can you use to find f, the cost of each favor?
How much did each favor cost?

Let f be the cost of each favor.
The equation that can be used to find f is:
265 + 8f = 305
To solve for f, we can subtract 265 from both sides:
8f = 305 - 265
8f = 40
Dividing both sides by 8:
f = 40/8
f = 5
Each favor cost $5.
To find the cost of each favor, we need to subtract the base package cost from the total cost and then divide by the number of guests.
Let's set up the equation:
Total cost - Base package cost = Number of guests * Cost of each favor
$305 - $265 = 8f
Now, let's solve for f, the cost of each favor:
$40 = 8f
To get the value of f, we divide both sides of the equation by 8:
f = $40 / 8 = $5
Hence, each favor costs $5.
To find the cost of each favor, we can set up an equation using the information provided. Let's assume the cost of each favor is represented by f.
We know that the original package cost is $265, and Estelle upgraded her package to include favors for each of her 8 guests, bringing the total cost to $305. This means that the cost of the favors is $305 - $265 = $40.
Since there are 8 guests and each guest receives a favor, the equation to find the cost of each favor (f) would be:
8f = $40
To find the value of f, we can solve this equation by dividing both sides by 8:
8f/8 = $40/8
f = $5
Therefore, each favor cost $5.
