Answer: 300 people

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Mr. Gaines is catering his company picnic and he will pay $18.45 for 3 people to eat the barbecue lunch. This means the cost per person will be:

= $18.45/3

= $6.15

For $1850, the number of people that Me Gaines can feed will be:

= $1850/$6.15

= 300 people
