QuestionDestiny's ice cream social costs \$ 40 plus \$ 9 per guest. Find guests if the total bill is \$ 256.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost of renting the shelter is $40. The cost per guest for ice cream is$ 93. The total bill Destiny received from the park is $256

STEP 2

First, we need to find out the total cost of the ice cream for all guests. We can do this by subtracting the cost of the shelter from the total bill.
$Ice\, cream\, cost = Total\, bill - Shelter\, cost$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total bill and the shelter cost to calculate the ice cream cost.
$Ice\, cream\, cost = \$256 - \$40$

STEP 4

Calculate the total cost of the ice cream for all guests.
$Ice\, cream\, cost = \$256 - \$40 = \$216$

STEP 5

Now that we have the total cost of the ice cream, we can find out the number of guests. We can do this by dividing the total ice cream cost by the cost per guest.
$Number\, of\, guests = Ice\, cream\, cost / Cost\, per\, guest$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the ice cream cost and the cost per guest to calculate the number of guests.
$Number\, of\, guests = \$216 / \$9$

STEP 7

Calculate the number of guests.
$Number\, of\, guests = \$216 / \$9 =24$ Destiny had24 guests at her ice cream social.
