Question

James and Bethany Morrison are celebrating their 10th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $2,000 for their reception.

If the reception hall charges a $50 cleanup fee plus $32 per person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget.

Answer 1

Equation: 32x + 50 = y
x = # of people, y = total cost
32x + 50 = 2,000
32x = 1,950
x = 60.93
They can invite at most 60 people
