Answer 1

Explanation:

You are in charge of planning your mother's surprise party. You have found a hall that rents for $225 and a caterer that will charge you $15 per guest. Write an inequality to calculate your total cost (T) based on the number of guests (g).

T = 15g + 225

If you have a total budget of $1000 how many guests can you

invite?

1,000 = 15g + 225

subtract 225 from both sides:

1,000 -225 = 15g + 225 - 225

775 = 15g

divide both sides by 15:

775/15 = 15g/15

g = 51.66

Because you cannot invite part of a guest round down to inviting 51 guests
