Question 1014994: I know how to solve it but now I have to put it in interval notation.
A amusement park charges a flat rate of $ 99 for a birthday party plus $9.00 for each person. If you have $175 to spend, at most how many people can attend the party?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 175=99+9x; the 99 is fixed costs, the 9x is the variable cost for each person (x=person)
76=9x
x=8 4/9
Eight people can attend. You have to round down to 8.
Interval notation (0,8]. Actually (0,9) would work, too, since 9 doesn't work and there are only integers.

Number of people (N) who can attend for $175:  , which is saying that 1 - 8 people can attend, or in interval notation:  .
Zero people cannot be considered. If you want to know why, just ask yourself, "Would I pay $99 if no-one will attend?"
Unless, of course, there's a contract that states otherwise!
