Question

A magician performing at children's birthday parties charges $120 total for a 1-hour performance with 10 goodie bags for children at the party. She will provide aditional goodie bags for $2.50 each. For an additional $25, she will also present a 15-minute laser light show. The magician is always paid on the day of the show, recieves no tips or other additional payments, and never varies the show's length. If the magician performs 4 shows 1 weekend, and presents the light show at 3 of those performances, and collects $635 total, how many additional goodie bags did she provide?

Answer 1

I believe the equation would be:
635=(4)120+(3)25+(x-(4*10))2.50

Answer 6

I originally thought the 10 free goodie bags should be factored in but I don't think that was correct since those are free.

635=(4)120+(3)25+(x)2.50

Answer 7

thanx, bro!

Answer 8

Answer 9

The first equation would have given you the total number of goodie bags she would need...including the free ones. But that's not what it was asking for :)
