Answer:

The maximum number of guests for $780 would be 26.

Explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios. In the first column write $630/$780; in the right column write 21/x:

630 21

---------- = -------

780 x

Cross-multiplying, we get 630x = 21(780), which yields x = 26.

The maximum number of guests for $780 would be 26.
