Answer:
The answer to your question is 108 guests.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Budget = $5676
She has spent = $2652
price per guest = $28
number of guests = x
Process
1.- Determine the quantity of money available.
Money available = 5676 - 2652
= $3024
2.- Divide the money available by the price per guest
Number of guests = $3024/$28
Number of guests = 108
3.- Conclusion
She can invite at most 108 guests
Answer: she can invite less than 108 guests to the reception and stay under budget.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of guests that she can invite.
The meal price per guest is 28. It means that the meal price for x guests would be 28x.
She wants to spend less than her budget of 5,676, and Margaret has already spent 2,652. It means that the amount she has left to spend is
5676 - 2652 = 3024
Since she wants to spend less that 3024, then
28x < 3024
x < 3024/28
x < 108
