Question

My son wants to celebrate his birthday at the bowling alley with a few of his friends. He has $70 to spend. The bowling alley charges a flat fee of $40 for a private party and $4.50 per person for shoe rentals and unlimited bowling.

The maximum number of people he can pay for at the bowling alley is __.​

Answer 1

6 people

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: he can pay for 6 people total (including him)

Explanation:

first lets subtract the flat fee from the total amount of money he has

70 - 40 = 30

now lets divide 30 by $4.50 to see how many people he can pay for

30 / $4.50 = about 6.5

obviously you cant pay for half a person so he can invite 5 people (he also has to pay for himself)
