A restaurant is hosting a dinner event for a maximum of $95 people. So far, $23 people have registered to attend the event. There are $12 tables left and each table can seat p people. How many people are at each table ?
To find out how many people are at each table, we first need to calculate how many people are still able to register for the event.
Maximum number of people for event: 95
Number of people registered: 23
People left to register: 95 - 23 = 72
Next, we need to find out how many tables are needed to accommodate the remaining people. Since each table can seat p people and there are 12 tables left, the total number of available seats is 12p.
Since we know that 72 people still need to register, we can set up an equation to represent this:
12p = 72
Solving for p:
p = 72/12
p = 6
Therefore, there are 6 people at each table.
