Jacob’s graduation party costs $22.50 for decorations, plus an additional $5.50 for each attendee. At most, how many attendees can there be if Jacob budgets a total of $50 for his graduation party? Write an equation, solve, and justify your steps. Show your work.

Jacob can have 5 attendees

Step-by-step explanation:

The party decorations itself cost 22.50 so you would need to subtract that from 50 which is 27.50. Then you take that and divide it by the cost of each person 5.50 to get 5

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
