Question

Skate Land charges a $75 facility usage fee for a birthday party rental and $7 per person. The cake for the party has already been ordered and costs $47. The Smith family wants to spend less than $250 for the entire birthday party. Using the inequality 7p+75+47< 250, what would be the largest amount of people they could have at the party? Let p = the number of people invited.

Answer 1

Answer: The maximum number of people they could have at the party is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

$250 - $75 = $175

$175 - $47 = $128

$128 / $7 = 18.28

Hope this helps:)
