Question

Josh is having a party. The cost is $100 plus $6 per person at Party Central. The cost at Crazy Ways is $180 plus $4 per person. When will the charges be the same? How many people must attend? How much would be spent?

Answer 1

Charges will be equal at $340 when 40 people attend

Explanation:

Let the number of people be x

cost in party central = 100+6x

cost in crazy ways = 180 + 4x

100+6x = 180 +4x

or 2x = 80

or x = 40

Therefore it will be equal when 40 members attend both places each

cost = 100 + 6*40 = 340
