Answer:
Option C) 27 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of people
we know that
The cost of decorations ($35) plus the number of people (x) multiplied by the cost per person on food ($8.50) must be equal to $264.50
so
The linear equation that represent this situation is
solve for x
Subtract 35 both sides
Divide by 8.50 both sides
To obtain x, we can sum the angles < AQB and < BQC
=> 5X + 8X - 24
=> 13X -24
we are also told that that the sum of their angles is 80
13X - 24 = 80
13 X = 24 + 80
13X = 104
Divide both sides by 13
x = 104/13
x = 8
