Haley Elliott · Answer 1

42

Step-by-step explanation: I subtracted 950 from 1500 and that left me with 550 that i divided by 31.95 which left me with 17 ... but we keep it at 17 because we can't have half of a guest. Then you would add 17 to the 25 other guests you are paying for the answer of 42

Step-by-step explanation:

1500-950=550

550:32=17

17+25=42 guests
