Mark and Heather Starr are celebrating their 25th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $4,500 for their reception. If the reception hall charges a $60 cleanup fee plus $36 per person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

123 people

Step-by-step explanation:

60 + 36x ≤ 4500  x is  the number of people

36x ≤ 4440  Subtract 60 from both sides of the equation

x ≤ 123.333...  Divide both sides  by 36.

We cannot have a portion of a person, so we would round down to the next person which would be 123.
