Answer 1

x = 95

Explanation:

Given that,

The cost of a banquet at Nick's Catering is $215 plus $27.50 per person

The total cost of a banquet was $2827.50

We need to find the number of people invited. Let there are x people. So,

215+27.5x = 2827.50

27.5x = 2827.50 -215

27.5x = 2612.5

x = 95

So, there are 95 people that were invited.
