Audrey's birthday party will cost $148 if she invites 4 guests. How many guests can there be, at most, if Audrey can afford to spend a total of $2,220 on her birthday party? Assume the relationship is directly proportional. (rond to the nearest whole number)

Take into account that the price per person is:

$148/4 = $37

That is, the cost per person is $37. Now, if you divide $2,200 over $37, you obtain:


(2200)/(37)\approx59

Which means that Audrey is able to invite approximately 59 guests.
