Question

Milli plans to rent a room for her birthday party for $40. The catering charge is $12 per person but there is no charge for Milli's meal since she is the guest of honor. If Milli has $100 to spend on her birthday party, what is the maximum number of friends Milli can invite?

Answer 1

she can invite 5 friends

Explanation:

so the inequality i would use to descirbe this is:

100≥40+12p ( the room plus 12 dollars per person must be less than $100)

-40 -40

----------------------

60≥12p

/12 /12

-----------------

5≥p

hope this helps!

Answer 2

This is a 2 part question.

Milli has $100 to spend and pays for the room first. $100 - $40 = $60 to pay for meals.

Each meal is $12 - how many meals can she buy with $60?

60 / 12 = 5 meals

So Milli and 5 friends can be at the party.

To check: 5($12) + $40 = $100
