ONE WAY IS TO FIND THE BREAK EVEN POINT FOR THESE 2 OFFERINGS:
2000+35X=1400+45X WHERE X IS THE NUMBER OF GUESTS.
35X-45X=1400-2000
-10X=-600
X=-600/-10
X=60 GUESTS WILL MAKE BOTH OFFERS THE SAME.
THEREFORE ANY NUMBER LESS THAN 60 WILL MAKE THE $1400 HALL THE CHEAPER OFFER BY $10 PER GUEST.
MORE THAN 60 QUESTS WILL MAKE THE $2000 HALL THE CHEAPER OFFER BY $10 PER QUEST.
