The formula c = 5p + 235 relates c, the total cost in dollars of hosting a birthday party at a skating rink, to p, the number of people attending. If Allie's parents are willing to spend $395 for a party, how many people can attend?

395 = 5p + 235
-235 - 235
160 = 5p *divide both sides by 5*
p = 32
A total of 32 people can attend Allie’s party.
Hope you learned something! ^v^
