The cost of having a swimming party is $6 per child plus $150 to rent the pool. Write and equation to represent the cost of a party. Find the cost for 8 children. Find the cost for 25 children.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of children that would swim at the swimming party.

The cost of having a swimming party is $6 per child plus $150 to rent the pool. This means that the total cost of swimming for x children would be

6x + 150

The cost of swimming for 8 children would be

6 * 8 + 150 = 48 + 150

= $198

The cost of swimming for 25 children would be

6 * 25 + 150 = 150 + 150

= $300
