Skateland charges a $50 flat fee for birthday party rental and $5.50 for each person. joann can spend at most $100 on her birthday party. how many friends can she invite without exceeding her limit?

Joann can afford maximum 9 friends in her party.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let she can invite x friends in her party.

Skateland charges fixed charges = $50 and $5.50 for each person.

So the total charges she has to pay for x friends = $(5.5x + 50)

Since Joann can spend at most $100.

So the inequality which will represent the expenditure will be

(5.5x + 50) ≤ 100

5.5x ≤ 100 - 50

5.5x ≤ 50

x ≤

x ≤ 9.09

Therefore, Joann can afford maximum 9 friends in her party.
