17$

Explanation:

A catering company charges $65.50 to set up for a party, $90.75 to cleanup afterward, and $27.50 per person for food. If a catering bill comes to $623.75, how many people came to the party?

You take away the expenses from the total and you are left with the cost of the guests, then divide by $ 27.50 and you have the number of guests

(623.75 -65.50 - 90.75) : 27.50 =

467.50 : 27.50 = 17

Answer 2

17 people

Explanation:

65.50+90.75=156.25 party and clean up fee

623.75-156.25=467.50 people's fee

467.50/27.50= 17 people
