Question

We are planning a reception for our daughter. The hall that we are renting charges a $95 cleanup fee. Inaddition to the cleanup fee, they charge $40 per guest for food and drinks.If we have $2,800.00 available, what is the maximum number of guest we can invite without going over ourbudget?The maximum number of guests is

Answer 1

67 guests

Explanation / Steps:

Since the budget is of $2,800.00, from it we need to remove first the renting charge (since this charge doesn't deppend on the amount of guests) :

$2,800.00 - $95.00 = $2,705

Then to find the amount of guest we'll divide this amount by the $40 fee for food and drinks per guests:

$2,705 / $40 = 67.625 guests

Since the number of guest cannot be a decimal number and you can't add to this number, you need to truncate it at the unity = 67 guests
