Question

Jamie's graduation picnic costs $4 for every attendee. at most how many attendees can be there if jamie budgets a total of $52 for his graduation picnic?

Answer 1

Let’s create an equation; we are given a rate of $4 per attendee:

4a=52, where a=number of attendees

Solve for a:

Divide both sides by 4:

a=52/4

a=13

So, there can only be 13 attendees at the picnic to remain within budget. Let’s check our answer:

4(13)=52

52=52

So, 13 attendees is correct
