Question

We are planning a reception for our daughter. The hall that we are renting charges a $90 cleanup fee. In addition to the cleanup fee, they charge $29 per guest for food and drinks.

If we have $3,100.00 available, what is the maximum number of guest we can invite without going over our budget?

Answer 1

The equation is y = 29x + 90. So, if you plug in 3,100.00 for y.

3,100.00 = 29x + 90

3,100.00 - 90 = 29x

3,010.00 = 29x

3,010.00/29 = 29x/29

x = 103 guests
