Answer:

They can invite 136 while staying in budget

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you know they will have to pay an $80 cleaning fee, therefore, you can subtract 80 from 5,000:

5,000-80 = 4,920

After doing this, you can take 4,920 and divide it by 36 (the price per person).

4,920/36 = 136.67

Because you can not have .67 of a person, your closest number you can use is 136.

leaving them with $24
