Penny is planning a baby shower for her daughter-in-law. The restaurant charges $950 for up to 25 guests, plus $31.95 for each additional guest. How many guests can attend if Penny wants the total cost to be no more than $1,500?

Answer:

42

Explanation:

1500-950=550

550÷32=17

17+25=42 guests

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation: I subtracted 950 from 1500 and that left me with 550 that i divided by 31.95 which left me with 17... but we keep it at 17 because we can't have half of a guest. Then you would add 17 to the 25 other guests you are paying for the answer of 42
