Question

Anna is planning a big birthday bash for her sixteenth birthday party and wants to invite as many people as possible but she has a limit!  If the caterer she uses charges a $100 setup fee and $6.50 per person but her parents will only give her $500 for the party, how many people can she invite and stay within her budget?

Write an inequality. Use p to represent the number of people she can invite.

Answer 1

p=(500-100)÷6.50
p=400÷6.50
p=6.15

Answer 2

Answer:60

Explanation:

Given

Total Budget of Anna is $500

and Carter charges $100 setup fee and $6.50

p is the number of person she can invite

Therefore

`500=100+6.50* p`

`400=6.50* p`

`p=(400)/(6.5)=61.53`

i.e. Anna can invite only 61 People in Birthday party.
