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 the restaurant determine the number of guests at the dinner party? a) $300 = $12g + $72 b) $300 = $72g + $12 c) $300 = $12g - $72 d) $300 = $72g - $12

C) $300 = $12g -$72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represents the number of guests invited.

Given: Maxine had to pay $12 per guest.

Then the total payment to her

=  Number of guests x payment pet guest

=g x $12=$12g

The restaurant took $72 off the bill due to a mistake in the order.

Then the combined bill ( in dollars) will be :-

$12g-$72

Hence, If the final bill is $300, then the equation will help the restaurant determine the number of guests at the dinner party will be -

will be :-

$12g-$72=$300

yes because there is exactly one y value for every x value

for function there can't be more than one value for every x value
