Question

Kellen wants to rent a banquet room in a restaurant for her cousin’s baby shower. The restaurant charges $350 for the banquet room plus $32.50 per person for lunch. How many people can Kellen have at the shower if she wants the maximum cost to be $1,500?

Answer 1

X is number of people
$350 + 32.50x <1500
32.50x< 1500-350
32.50x < 1150
X < 1150/32.5O
X < 35.38
So answer is 35 is the most she can without going over $1500
X <

Answer 2

35 People.

32.50 • 35= 1,137.50

1,1137.50 + $350 = 1,487.50

If you invited 36 people, the max cost would be over $1500.

1,487.50 + 32.50= 1,520

The answer is 35 people.
