Let us prepare an inequality statement to answer the question.

There is a one-time fee of $85 and a fee of $23 per guest. If x represents the number of guests, the amount spent will be:


85+23x

If the amount spent cannot exceed $1750, we have the inequality statement to be:


85+23x\leq1750

We can solve as follows:


\begin{gathered} 23x\leq1750-85 \\ 23x\leq1665 \\ x\leq(1665)/(23) \\ x\leq72.39 \end{gathered}

Since we cannot have a fraction of a person, the answer will be 72.

her maximum number of guests is 72.
