Question

MY 1st QUESTION, WILL GIVE BRAINILIST!

Scott's retirement party will cost $8 if he invites 4 guests. What is the maximum number of guests there can be if Scott can afford to spend a total of $14 on his retirement party? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

Well if it's $8 for 4 people then you have to divide to get the rate:

$8/4 =
`(2)/(person)`

now you can divide the disired amount to get the number of people:

$14/
`(2)/(person)` = 7 people

Answer 2

7, because 8/4 = 2 which means that 1 guest = $2. So if we do 14 / 2 to see how many guests that would be, it's 7.
