Bea's catering charges $3 per person and a $60 clean-up fee to cater banquets. Write an equation to find the number of students (n) that could attend the French clubs banquet if they had a budgeted $200 for catering

The required equation will be:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

where 'm' is the slope or rate of change and 'b' is the y-intercept of the equation

Given that Bea's catering charges $3 per person.

Given that the clean-up fee to cater banquets = $60

In other words, $60 is the initial condition or y-intercept.

Given that the cost budget = c = $200

Thus, the equation becomes

c = mn+b

substituting c = 200, m = rate of cgange = 3, b = 60

200 = 3n + 60            ∵ comparing with y = mx+b

Thus, the required equation will be:
