A caterer charges a $200 fee plus $18 per person served. If you have $4000 can you hold an event for 200 guests? Explain
Yes you can, you would have to spend 3,600 dollars. You would have 200 dollars left over I believe. Correct me if im wrong!
Perfect! sounds good to me thank you so much :)))
18x200=
10x200=2,000
2,000-400=1,600
1,600+2,000=3,600
3,600+200=3,800
your answer would be $3,800 you would have $200 left
Lana Del Rey you are off by 200
To determine if you can hold an event for 200 guests with $4000 budget, we need to calculate the total cost of the event and compare it to your budget.
The caterer charges a fixed fee of $200, which is non-negotiable and doesn't change based on the number of guests. They also charge an additional $18 per person served.
To calculate the total cost, we need to multiply the number of guests (200) by the cost per person ($18) and then add the fixed fee ($200):
Total Cost = (Number of guests) * (Cost per person) + Fixed fee
Total Cost = (200) * ($18) + $200
Total Cost = $3600 + $200
Total Cost = $3800
Based on the calculations, the total cost of the event would be $3800. Since your budget is $4000, it is indeed possible to hold the event for 200 guests with $4000 budget. You would have $200 remaining from your budget after paying for the event.
Keep in mind that this calculation assumes that there are no additional expenses beyond the caterer's charges. Also, remember to account for any other costs such as decorations, venue rental, or any other services you may require for the event.
