Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate food cost

The food cost per person is $9.50 and there are 155 people. So the food - cost is $9.50\times155$. $9.50\times155 = 9.5\times155=\frac{19}{2}\times155=\frac{19\times155}{2}=\frac{2945}{2}=1472.5$

Step2: Add equipment fee

The equipment fee is $65. Add this to the food cost. The total cost $C=1472.5 + 65$ $C = 1537.5$

Answer:

$1537.5$
