Question

Anna is planning a big birthday bash for her sixteenth birthday party and wants to invite as many people as possible but she has a limit!  If the caterer she uses charges a $100 setup fee and $6.50 per person but her parents will only give her $500 for the party, how many people can she invite and stay within her budget?
Write an inequality. Use p to represent the number of people she can invite.

Answer 1

p=(500-100)÷6.50
p=400÷6.50
p=6.15

Answer 2

Answer:60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total Budget of Anna is $500

and Carter charges $100 setup fee and $6.50

p is the number of person she can invite

Therefore

$500=100+6.50\times p$

$400=6.50\times p$

$p=\frac{400}{6.5}=61.53$

i.e. Anna can invite only 61 People in Birthday party.
