Answer: 64 paying persons must attend for the association to collect the exact amount to pay the hotel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of paying guests that would attend the occasion.

The hotel charges $20 for the use of its dining room and $2.50 a plate for each dinner. This means that the total charge for x paying guests would be

2.5x + 20

The association gives a dinner and charges $3 a plate but invites four non paying guests. If each one has a plate and 4 guests are not paying, then the revenue that can be generated would be

3(x - 4)

For the association to collect the exact amount to pay the hotel, the number of paying persons that must attend would be

2.5x + 20 = 3(x - 4)

2.5x + 20 = 3x - 12

3x - 2.5 = 20 + 12

0.5x = 32

x = 32/0.5

x = 64

Show a way to count from 170 to 410 using tens and hundreds. circle at least 1 benchmark number
Anastasy [175]
Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.

The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
