How many guests, x, can Margaret invite to the reception and stay under budget? Select the number line that includes the largest number of guests Margaret can invite without exceeding her budget.

Answer 1

Answer:

She can invite 109 guests and be right on top of budget. If she wants to spend less than her budget though she can only invite 108 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to subtract 5,748 - 2,478 which is 3270. Next you have to divide 3270 by 30 because each person costs 30 dollars. 3270 divided by 30 is 109.
