Question

We are planning a reception for our daughter. The hall that we are renting charges $55 clean up fee. In addition to the cleanup fee, they charge $37 per guest for food and drinks.
If we have $3,350.00 available, what is the maximum number of guest we can invite without going over our budget?

Answer 1

Answer:

89 is  the maximum number of guests that can be invited within budget  .

Step-by-step explanation:

The cleaning charges = $55

Total budget available = $3350

Cost per guest = $37

Now, actual budget available for guest = Total budget -  Cleaning Fee

= $3350  - $ 55   = $3,295

Now, cost per head =$ 37

So, number of guests (n) possible in the budget

⇒ n = (Total guest Budget)/ Cost per head

= $3,295 / $37  = $89.05

or,  n = $89.05

So, 89 is  the maximum number of guests that can be invited within budget  .
