Question

A company has $11,373 to send its employees to a conference. The conference costs $28 for each employee who attends. How many employees can the company send to the conference?

Answer 1

The company can send 406 employees to the conference by dividing the total budget of $11,373 by the cost per employee, which is $28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking how many employees the company can send to a conference with the budget they have. To find the answer, you need to divide the total budget by the cost per employee to attend the conference. The total budget is $11,373 and the cost per employee is $28. By dividing the total budget ($11,373) by the cost per employee ($28), we get the number of employees the company can afford to send.

1. Divide the total budget $11,373 by the cost per employee $28.
2. 11,373 ÷ 28 = 406.17857
3. Since we can't send a fraction of a person, round down to get a whole number of employees.
4. Therefore, the company can send 406 employees to the conference.
