Steve and Michelle Neely are celebrating their 30th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have budgeted $4,000 for their reception. If the reception hall charges $50 cleanup charge fee plus $33 per person, find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still stay within their budget

Greatest Number of People that may be invited = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the budget be $ 4000 = Amount

Total cost per person = ($50 + $33) = $83

Step 2:

Greatest number of persons Steve and Michelle Neely may invite is given by

Greatest number of Persons may be invited

= (Budget decided) / (Cost per person)

People Count = (4000) / (83) = 48.19

= (48*83) + 16 = 4000

Tentatively Greatest number of people may be invited is equal to 48 and remaining budget with them is $16

The max number of people they can invite and stay within the budget it 119 people.
