You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the number of students that attend is s and the number of guests is g, then you can write an expression that represents the total amount of money collected by saying  . In order to pay the country club their fee,  .
There really isn't enough information to solve this inequality, because you don't know how many guests are allowed per student or even whether every student will be bringing 1 or more guests. For example, if NO guests attend, then at least 250 students would have to attend. On the other hand, if you assume that each student that attends will bring exactly 2 guests, then each set of student plus guests would net $10 (2 + 4 + 4), and you would have to have a minimum of 50 students plus their 100 guests to meet the $500 fee. There are lots of other possibilities, so unless you specify some parameters that would allow you to construct a relationship that represented the numbers of students and guests, you can't go much farther with this.
