Question

Chia is planning a sailing party for her friends the boat rental is $150 plus an additional $15 per person see it has saved up $400 what is the maximum number of the people that can go sailing identify the equation to solve the maximum number of people

Answer 1

150+15x=400

Explanation:

150 being the rental cost and if it is 15 dollars per person you have to multiply 15 by the amount of people going so it is 15x and 400 is the maximum amount of money to pay.

Answer 2

150 + 15x = 400
(-150) 150 + 15x = 400 (-150)
15x = 250
(/15) 15x = 250 (/15)
x = 16.67
So Chia can invite 16 people
