If the whole reception charge $70 for a cleanup fee plus $33 per person. Find the greatest number of people that they may still invite and have within their budget.

Answer 1

Answer:

At most, they can invite 119 people and stay within their budget

Step-by-step explanation:

4,000 = 70 + 33x

3,930 = 33x

3930/33 = x

119 = x

—

4,000 = 70 + 33x

4,000 = 70 + 33(119)

4,000 = 70 + 3,927

4,000 = 3,997
