Official Solution:
Food & Setup Cost
Lisa expects 20 guests. 25 percent will bring one additional guest each. That adds 5 more guests, for a total of 25.
• Decorations: Each room costs 35 for decorations and 8 for lighting. For 3 rooms, the total cost is (35 + 8) * 3 = 129.
• Food: Appetizers cost 3 per guest and main courses cost 10 per guest. With 25 guests, the total food cost is (3 + 10) * 25 = 325.
• Drinks: Each guest is expected to drink 2 bottles. For 25 guests, that's 25 * 2 = 50 bottles. Adding 10 percent extra gives 55 bottles. Since bottles are sold in cases of 12, Lisa needs to buy 5 cases. Each case costs 30, so the total drink cost is 5 * 30 = 150.
Food and setup total is 129 + 325 + 150 = 604.
Entertainment Cost
Entertainment costs 300 for the first hour and 125 for each of the next two hours. Total is 300 + 2 * 125 = 550.
Correct answer:
Food & Setup Cost "$604"
Entertainment Cost "$550"

Appetizer and main course cost =25*(10+3)
Drinks will be 2 per person it will 50 and additional 10% =55
each case have 12 bottle so we will require 5 case so cost will be =30*5
total cost will be $604
Entertainment cost for 3 hours= 300+(2*125)=550
Hope it helps and if you like it please give kudos.
