C) $300 = $12g -$72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represents the number of guests invited.

Given: Maxine had to pay $12 per guest.

Then the total payment to her

=  Number of guests x payment pet guest

=g x $12=$12g

The restaurant took $72 off the bill due to a mistake in the order.

Then the combined bill ( in dollars) will be :-

$12g-$72

Hence, If the final bill is $300, then the equation will help the restaurant determine the number of guests at the dinner party will be -

will be :-

$12g-$72=$300
