Question

place the correct number to complete the sentence. the equation, $c = 15p + 40$ represents $c$, the total cost in dollars for a party with $p$ guests. if the total cost of a party was $1,165, then there were guests invited to the party. 25, 50, 75, 250

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute c with total cost

$1165 = 15p + 40$

Step2: Isolate the term with p

$15p = 1165 - 40$
$15p = 1125$

Step3: Solve for p

$p = \frac{1125}{15}$

Answer:

75
