Question

Mark and Heather Starr are celebrating their 25 th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $ 4,000 for their reception. If the reception hall charges a $ 50 cleanup fee plus $ 30 per​ person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget.

Answer 1

Greatest number of people they may invite within their budgeted
`x=131`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

`Budget=\$ 4000`

Clean up charges
`=\$ 50`

Per person charges
`=\$ 30`

Solution

Let the number of people they may invite is
`x`

`\$ 30* x+\$ 50=\$ 4000`

`\$ 30* x=\$ 4000-\$ 50`

`30* x=3950`

`x=3950/30`

`x=131.666`

Maximum number of people they may invite within their budgeted
`x=131`
