Maxine hosted a dinner party at her favorite restaurant. She had to pay $12 per guest. The restaurant took 72$ off the bill due to a mistake in the order. If the final bill is $300, which equation will help the restaurant determine the number of guests at the dinner party?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are the choices..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$300 = $12g + $72. $300 = $72g + $12. $300 = $12g - $72g. $300 = $72g - $12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought it was C because in order of appearance it kind of made sense to me. But I really need help on it

OpenStudy (cj49):

let the number of guest be g she paid $12 per guest 300=12g the restaurent took off 72 from the bill 300=12g-72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i was right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay!
