Answer 2

110 people need to attend the dance in order to cover the cost.

Explanation:

Bentley Manufacturing Company wants to rent a private club for its annual dance.

The total cost will be $1,045.

The committee charges $9.50 per person.

So, let the total number of persons attending be = x

So, this situation can be represented as:

`9.50x=1045`

This gives x = 110

So, 110 people need to attend the dance in order to cover the cost.
