Troy's birthday party costs $3,plus an additional $ 1 for each guest he invites. How many guests can there be, at most, if Troy can afford to spend a total of $49 on his birthday party?

You have to subtract 3 form 49 to find out what amount Troy had left to spend. So, 49 - 3 is 46.

It costs troy 1 dollar per person so he can have exactly 46 people at his party!

I hope this helps you and good luck!!!!!

46 students because if there is a cost for 3 dollars you subtract 3 from 49 then you get 46 then do 46 divided by 1 you get 46

So the answer is 46
