Ms. Barton determined that her wedding will cost $1500 for the rental of the space and $75 per guest. If Ms. Barton’s wedding cost $8625, how many guests attended the wedding?
115
95
135
75
To calculate the number of guests that attended the wedding, we can first subtract the fixed cost (rental of space) from the total cost to find the total cost of the guests:
$8625 - $1500 = $7125
Then, we can divide the total cost of the guests by the cost per guest to find the number of guests:
$7125 / $75 = 95
Therefore, 95 guests attended the wedding.
So, the correct answer is:
95
