Answer:

300 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent this question in the following equation, wherein x represents the cost, per person, and y represents the total amount of people:

3x=18.45

1850/x=y

We can find exactly how much he'd be paying for 1 person by dividing $18.45, the cost for 3 people, by 3, the amount of people.

18.45/3=6.15

Now we know that barbecue lunch costs $6.15 per person. We can plug our x, 6.15, into the second equation.

1850/6.15=300.81300813

Well, we can't exactly have a fraction (.81300813) of a person, so we'll have to make a small correction. We'll round down to the nearest whole number.

y=300

With that, we can conclude that Mr. Gaines can feed 300 people, whose meals cost $6.15 each, and by the end he'll still have $5 to spare!

Answer:

x = 9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{4x-6}{4} = \frac{2x+5}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3(4x - 6) = 4(2x + 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

12x - 18 = 8x + 20 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

4x - 18 = 20 ( add 18 to both sides )

4x = 38 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = \frac{38}{4} = 9.5
