Hello there! An equation that can be used to find the total cost of the banquet is this:

225 + 50h + 25p = c

This is because "c" represents the total cost of everything, "h" represents hours, and "p" represents people. The $225 paid to rent a hall is a one-time price and does not go up. $50 is paid per hour to the DJ, and $25 is the amount per person for dinner.
