Question

Question Help James and Bethany Morrison are celebrating their 10th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $ 4 comma 500 $4,500 for their reception. If the reception hall charges a $100 cleanup fee plus $35 per​ person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget.

Answer 1

Let x = greatest number of people they can invite , then:-

35 x + 100 ≤ 4500

35x ≤ 4400

x  ≤  125.7

so the answer is 125 people

Answer 2

What I did was I subtracted 4500 minus 500 because it was a fee then I divide 4400 by 35 and I got 125 people.
