Caterer A charges $15 per person and $100 to set up tables. Caterer B charges $20 per person and $50 to set up tables. For what number of guests will the cost of Caterer A be the same as the cost of Caterer B? number or guest

Number of guests = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Caterer A charges $15 per person and $100 to set up tables. Caterer B charges $20 per person and $50 to set up tables.

Let,

x be the number of guests.

A(x) = 15x + 100

B(x) = 20x + 50

For the cost to be equal;

A(x) = B(x)

15x + 100 = 20x + 50

100 - 50 = 20x - 15x

50 = 5x

Dividing both sides by 5

Hence,

Number of guests = 10

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
