Question

Mr.Gaines is catering his company picnic. He will pay $18.45 for 3 people to eat the barbecue lunch. At this rate, how many people can Mr. Gines afford to feed on a budget of $195.00?

Answer 1

We are given that Mr.Gaines is catering his company picnic.

Amount for 3 people he will pay = $18.45.

Amount for each person = $18.45/3 = $6.15.

Total amount on a budget = $195.00.

Number of people can Mr. Gines afford to feed on this budget = $195.00 ÷ 6.15

= 31.71

So, maximum 31 people.

Therefore, Mr. Gines can afford to feed on a budget of $195.00 = 31 people.
