We are planning a reception for our daughter. The hall that we are renting charges $55 clean up fee. In addition to the cleanup fee, they charge $37 per guest for food and drinks.

If we have $3,350.00 available, what is the maximum number of guest we can invite without going over our budget?

Answer:

89 guests

Explanation:

You have to subtract the initial fee of $55 in order to calculate the number of guests you can invite.

Then, divide the budget left (3295) and divide by the fee per guest ($37).

This leaves you with the answer of approximately 89 guests.
