• $129 to transport the booth to the school and set it up
• $775 to rent the booth for the evening
• $229 for the film and photo paper

the school expects 320 seniors to attend the after - prom celebration. they expect that every senior will use the photo booth once and pay $1 per use. how much of the cost will the after - prom celebration committee be responsible to pay after collecting the money from the students?

• the cost for the photo booth is $1133, and the after - prom celebration committee will pay half of this cost, which is $566.50.
• renting the photo booth will cost the committee $1453.
• the after - prom celebration committee will pay $813 for the photo booth.
• the committee will need to pay $775 for the rental cost.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total cost of photo booth

To find the total cost, we sum up the costs of transport, rental, and film/photo paper.
Total cost = Transport cost + Rental cost + Film and photo paper cost
Total cost = $129 + $775 + $229
First, add $129 and $775: $129 + $775 = $904
Then add $229 to $904: $904 + $229 = $1133

Step2: Calculate revenue from students

There are 320 seniors, each paying $1. So revenue = 320 * $1 = $320

Step3: Calculate cost committee pays

Subtract revenue from total cost: Committee's cost = Total cost - Revenue
Committee's cost = $1133 - $320 = $813

Answer:

The after - prom celebration committee will pay $813 for the photo booth.
