They have $27 for the party because 15 + 12 = 27. They have $12 for soda because 27 - 15 = 12. They can buy 4 bottles of soda because 12 / 3 = 4. They have 48 servings of soda because 4 x 12 = 48. Each guest gets 6 servings because 48 / 8 = 6.
The answer: 6
Reverse engineering the question: Monica and Michelle are combining their money to throw a party. Monica brings $15. Michelle brings $12. The cake costs 15 dollars, and soda is $3 a bottle.

Reasoning and answer: Faye's mother gave her 2 x $20 = $40. So, Faye had a total of $20 + $40 = $60. Ten cupcakes cost 10 x $1.50 = $15. Five boxes of cookies cost 5 x $3 = $15. Thus, Faye spent $15 + $15 = $30. Therefore, Faye has $60 - $30 = $30 left.
The answer: 30
