The formula c = 5p + 210 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 $350 for a party, how many people can attend?

Answer:

28 people

Explanation:

Plug in 350 as c into the equation, since c is the total cost:

c = 5p + 210

350 = 5p + 210

Solve for p:

140 = 5p

28 = p

So, 28 people can attend
