Question

The corporate team-building event will cost $12 if it has 6 attendees. How many attendees can there be, at most, if the budget for the corporate team-building event is $16? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

16-12=4 and 4 is 1/3 of 12. So we can use ratio and say that since we are doing 1/3 of 12, we have to do it to 6. So 1/3 of 6=2. Finally, we add 6+2=8.
