Identify Equation:  Identify the correct equation to represent the situation. Estelle's total cost increased by the cost of the favors for 8 guests. The equation should reflect the initial cost plus the cost of the favors equals the new total cost. Solve for f:  Solve the equation for f, the cost of each favor. Subtract 265 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term involving f. Find Cost of Favor:  Divide both sides by 8 to find the cost of each favor.
