Answer:

There can be at most
12 attendees in a corporate team-building event.

Explanation:

Let
x denotes number of attendees in a corporate team-building event.

Fixed cost = $19

Cost charged per attendee = $1

Budget for the corporate team-building event = $31

Therefore,


19+1(x)\leq 31\\19+x\leq 31\\x\leq 31-19\\x\leq 12

So, there can be at most
12 attendees in a corporate team-building event.
