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
