Question

taras retirement party will cost $752 if she invites 47 guests. what is the maximum number of guests there can be if tara can afford to spend a total of $944 on her retirement party? assume the relationship is directly proportional. guests

Explanation:

Step1: Find cost per guest

First, find the cost per guest. The cost for 47 guests is $752, so the cost per guest $c$ is $c = \frac{752}{47}$.
$\frac{752}{47}=16$. So each guest costs $16.

Step2: Find number of guests for $944

Now, to find the number of guests $n$ for a total cost of $944, we use the formula $n=\frac{944}{16}$ (since cost per guest is $16$ and total cost is $944$).
$\frac{944}{16} = 59$.

Answer:

59
