Answer 1

about 11 people

Explanation:

Answer 2

11 people

Explanation:

Divide the budget by the cost (500/42.75), and you’ll get 11.696(rounded). Well, you can’t have a 60th of a person, but you also can’t invite 12 people because it would go over the budget, so you have to round down to 11 people.
