A. 13 people

B. 14 people

C. 28 people

D. 29 people

Answer 1

A. 13 people

Explanation:

The equation is 13x + 149.50 ≤ 323

Step 1: Subtract 149.50 from both sides.

13x + 149.5 − 149.5 ≤ 323 − 149.5

13x ≤ 173.5

Step 2: Divide both sides by 13

13x/13 ≤ 173.5/13

x<13.346154

Since you cant have 13.34 of a person you have to round to 13

So, the greatest number of people Justin can allow to attend the workshop is 13 people

Answer 2

a. 13

first I subtracted 323 and 149.5 to get 173.5 I did this beacause you want to find out how much is left, then I divided 173.5 by 13 and got 13.
