Question 1172649: The Student Council is planning a school celebration and wants to have live music and food for everyone who attends. They have found a band that will charge $750 and a caterer who will provide drinks and snacks for $2.25 per person. If their goal is to keep the average cost per person between $2.75 and $3.25, how many people must attend?

The cost of the caterer per person is $2.25; and the total cost per person is to be kept between $2.75 and $3.25.

That means the cost per person of the band has to be between $2.75-$2.25 = $0.50 and $3.25-$2.25 = $1.00.

Since the cost of the band is $750, the number of people that must attend is between 750%2F1+=+750 and 750%2F%28.5%29+=+1500
