Given:

Total budget = $3500

The hall charges a $50 clean up fee plus $38 per person

Let the number of persons = x

So, the total cost = 38x + 50

The greatest number of people will follow the inequality:


38x+50\le3500

solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 38x\le3500-50 \\ 38x\le3450 \\ x\le(3450)/(38) \\ \\ x\le90.789 \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be:

The greatest number of people they can invite = 90 persons
