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
The expression that represents the amount of money, m, Kayla’s mom has to spend on each guest’s goody bag is:
m = (total budget - cost of food) ÷ number of guests
m = ($150 - $5 × 12) ÷ 12
m = ($150 - $60) ÷ 12
m = $90 ÷ 12
m = $7.50
Therefore, Kayla’s mom has to spend $7.50 on each guest’s goody bag.

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