six familys split the cost of a family reunion. each family also spends $65 for a hotel room. Each familys share of the cost of the party plus the cost of the hotel room totlas $160. write and solve and equation to find the cost of the reunion.
i don't know how to do this without knowing how many days they are staying at the hotel? or can i still do this problem?
im stuck.
I think you have to assume that each family stays at the motel just one night.
so 65.00 + r/6 + $160.00
You haven't written an equation.
65.00 + r/6 + $160.00
An equation needs an equal sign.
65.00 + r/6 = $160.00
That answer doesn't make any sense.
In your equation r = 15.83
You need to find the total cost of the reunion party.
$160.00 /6 = x
Nope!
Each family pays $160. Of that amount, $65 is for the hotel room.
6(160 - 65) = t
