Question

Steve and Michelle Neely are celebrating their 30th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $4,000 for their reception. If the reception hall charges a $80 cleanup fee plus $39 per​ person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget.

Answer 1

Answer:

100 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

$4,000 (total budget) - $80 (clean-up fee) = $3,920

$3,920 divided by $39 per person = 100.51

A total of 100 people could be invited for the Neely's to stay within their budget.
