Answer 2

There were 120 events planned.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

f(x) represents the total monthly expenses for planning x events.

`f(x) = 50(2x+1) + 300`

Cost of expenses for the company at the end of one month = $12,350

We have to find the number of events planned that is we have to find the value of x.

`f(x) = 50(2x+1) + 300 = 12350\\50(2x+1) + 300 = 12350\\100x + 50 + 300 = 12350\\100x + 350 = 12350\\100x = 12350-350\\100x = 12000\\\\x = \displaystyle(12000)/(100) =120`

Thus, there were 120 events planned.
