Question 665490: Sam and Tina are celebrating their 25th anniversary by having a party. They budgeted $4000.00 for the party. If the party hall charges a $60.00 cleanup fee plus $38.00 per person, what is the greatest number of people that they may invite and stay within the $4000.00 budget?

Take $4000 minus the fixed clean-up fee of $60:
4000 - 60 = 3940
So they have 3940 left to spend on guests. Each guest costs 38.
So the number of guests = 3940/38 = 103.68
So they can invite 103 guests.
