Question

The charity gala will cost $270 if it has 15 attendees. How many attendees can there be, at most, if the budget for the charity gala is $558? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

31 attendees can be there at the most

Answer 2

31

Explanation:

1. For 15 people the charity gala costs $270, so for 1 person it costs 270÷15 = 18.
2. So, $18 for each person, now you have a budget of $558, therefore you divide 558 by 18 = 31
3. This concludes that the total number of attendees that can be at the gala is 31.
