Answer:

38 attendees.

Explanation:

Subtract the cost of the decorations from the total (474 - 94). You are then left with $380 for all the attendees combined. Divide the total cost of attendees by the cost per attendee (380/ 10). You are left with 38 attendees. You can also check this backwards by multiplying 38 attendees by $10 (380), then adding the cost of decorations (94), and end up with the total cost of $474. I hope this helped!
