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?

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

Answer 1

im not an expert or anything, but i think for the innequality, i would say


`6.50p + 100 \leqslant 500`

as far as the amount of people she can invite, do 500-100=400 because of the setup fee, then, to find how many people she can invite. 400÷6.50 which leaves you with the highest amount of people she can invite without going over budget, as 61.
