anonymous · Answer

Total cost = rent + caterer charge

anonymous · Answer

which one is it? 500+15/a or 500+a divided by 15 or a(15+500) or 500a+15 or 15a +500

anonymous · Answer

500+15a= total cost
You know the 500 is right off the bat, then the cater charges 15 per person so a is the number of people. Add both to get total cost. I do not think any division is in involved
