Tammy invited 144 guests to her wedding. tammy is renting tables that seat 8 guest at each table. if each table costs $5 to rent how much will tammy spend to rent the tables

$90.00

Step-by-step explanation:

144/8=18*5=90

The correct answer is $90.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must start by analyzing the information we have.

We know Tammy has 144 guests in total. You can put 8 guests per table, for each table she will spend $ 5.

Now we must find out how much she will spend in total to be able to pay for all the guests.

If         8 guests $ 5

         144 guests x

With this information we can do a cross-multiplication:

8x=144.5

8x = 720

x = 720: 8

x = 90

In this way we verify that Tammy will spend $ 90 to rent the tables.

divide the total tax by the rate

8.75% = 0.0875

4.59/.0875 = 52.457 round to 52.46
