To cater a luncheon, a hotel charges $50 per hour for use of a dining room plus $24.50 per person. What is the total cost for a 2-hour luncheon for 45 people?
50times2=100 45times24.5=1102.5 total=1202.5 because 50/hour times to the given time which is 2=100 45 also the given time times the 24.50/person =1102.5 add the total of the equation=100+1102.5=1202.5 dollar.
