Question

Paula is planning a dinner dance. She wants to keep the ticket price as low as possible.

Band A: charges $600 to play for the evening

Band B: Charges $350 plus $1.25 per student



After how many students would it be better to hire Band A?

Answer 1

After 200 students, it would better to hire Band A

Explanation:

350+ 1.25x = 600

1.25x = 250

x = 200

at 200 students the cost is the same for Band A and Band B

at 201 students Band A will be cheaper then Band B
