Problema Solution

The Swedish Chef catering company charges $50.00 for set up, $85.00 for cleanup, and the special menu that Judy Carter ordered cost $23.50 per person. If Judy's bill came to $558.00, how many people came to the party?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'x' be number of people that came to the party


The total expenses of Judy's party are


50 + 85 + 23.5*x = 558


x = (558 - 135)/23.5


x = 18


18 people came to the party
