Question

It costs $95 to rent the gym for a banquet hall. It costs $4 for each student that attends the dance. The student council has a budget of $311. If the student council pays for the dance from its budget, how many students can go to the dance? **GIVE EXPLANATION**

Answer 1

Answer: 43 max

Explanation:

Base cost: 95

311-95 = $216 to pay for students who attend

216/5 = 43.2, but 0.2 of a student can't go. So at most 43 students can go to the dance.
