Question

Steve and Michele and celebrating their 30th anniversary by having a reception at the local reception hall. they have a budget of 3,500, the reception hall charges a 50 dollar clean up fee plus 31 dollars per person. find the greatest number of people they can invite and stay within their budget

Answer 1

$3,500 budget minus $50 clean up fee equals $3,450.
3500 - 50 = 3450

$3,450 divided by $31 per person equals 111.29
3450 / 31 = 111.29

111 people multiplied by $31 equals $3,441 plus $50 clean up fee equals $3,491
111 x 31 = 3441
3441 + 50 = 3491

They can invite 111 people and will have $9 to spare
