Question

Mark and Heather Starr are celebrating their 25 th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $ 4,000 for their reception. If the reception hall charges a $ 50 cleanup fee plus $ 30 per​ person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget.

Answer 1

Answer:

Greatest number of people  they may invite within their budgeted $x=131$

Explanation:

Given,

$Budget=\ 4000$

Clean up charges$=\ 50$

Per person charges$=\ 30$

Solution

Let the number of people they may invite is $x$

$\ 30\times x+\ 50=\ 4000$

$\ 30\times x=\ 4000-\ 50$

$30\times x=3950$

$x=3950/30$

$x=131.666$

Maximum number of people they may invite within their budgeted  $x=131$
