What is the cost of the party?

Question

Six friends split the cost of a party. Each person also spends $65 for a hotel room. Each person spends $160 on the party and room.  What is the cost of the party?

Answer 1

p = what each person pays for the party

p = cost of party and room - cost of room

p = 160 - 65

p = 95

 

Each person spent 95 dollars on the party.

 

The cost of the party was six times that amount, $570.
