Question

Carrie is planning her birthday party at a restaurant. She cannot spend more than $75 on the party. The cost per person for the meal is $12. There is also a $10 charge for the room. The number of friends, f, that Carrie can invite is represented by the inequality 12f + 10 < 75. How many friends can Carrie invite to the party if her budget is $75 or less?

Answer 1

Answer:

Carrie can invite 5 of her friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Your budget minus The room is $65, now if its $12per person to come and your including yourself in the the number, then $12x5=$60 and now your out of money, so the answer is 5.

If Carrie starts out with $75.00 - $10.00 for room charge that leaves her with $65.00

$65.00 ÷ $12.00 per person

65 ÷ 12  = 5.42

So, that means Carrie can invite 5 of her friends.

Hope this helps.
