Hi there! The answer is 72 guests.
To find our answer we need to set up and solve an equation. Let the total number of guests be represented by g. The cost per guest is $13.50
Therefore the cost for all of the guests will be $13.50 × g.
To find the total cost we need to add the additional fee of $540 to cover linens and tableware.
Now we've found our equation.
Subtract 540.
Divide by 13.5
Therefore, there are 72 guests. The answer is 72.
