Answer:

The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.

Explanation:

Manager can spend at most of $400.

Total Money ≤ $400

Cost to operate bank = $100

Cost for each employee = $50

Let number of employees for the day be
x

Hence the equation will become;


50x + 100 \leq 400

Solving this equation we get;


50x + 100 \leq 400\\50x \leq 400-100\\50x \leq 300\\x\leq (300)/(50)\\\\x\leq 6

Hence, The restaurant Manager can afford 6 employees for the day.
