Question

Carrie is planning her birthday party at a restaurant. She cannot spend more than $75 on the party. The cost per person for the meal is $12. There is also a $10 charge for the room. The number of friends, f, that Carrie can invite is represented by the inequality 12f + 10 < 75. How many friends can Carrie invite to the party if her budget is $75 or less?

Answer 1

Carrie can only bring 4 people.

Explanation:

75-10= 65

65-12= 53

12 * 4 =48

anything above that is more than her budget.
