Question

Tara is planning a baby shower for her sister. The restaurant charges $450 for the first 25 people plus $15 for each additional guest If Tara can spend at most $700, find the greatest number of people who can attend the shower.

Answer 1

700-450=250
250/15=16.67
25+16=41 guests

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Tara can spend at most $700

Restaurant charges $450 for the first 25 people and $15 for each additional guest

Let x be the number of additional guest

⇒ 450+15x<700

⇒ 15x<250

⇒ x<250/15

⇒ x<16.67

Hence, Maximum additional guest can be 16

25+16=41

Hence, the greatest number of people who can attend the shower is:

41
