Question 1115801: The Warbler House Inn offers two plans for wedding parties. Under plan A, the inn charges $30 for each person in attendance. Under plan B, the inn charges $1400 plus $15 for each person in excess of the first 35 who attend. For what size parties will plan B cost less? (Assume that more than 35 guests will attend.) Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Plan A: 30x
Plan B: 1400 + 15(x-35)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
30x < 1400 + 15x - 525
15x < 875
x = 58.33 NOTE: you can't split a person, so at 58 guests and under, Plan A is cheaper. At 59 guests and up, plan B is cheaper.
