Respuesta :

Since the cost of the event contains 2 parts

1. A fixed amount of $250

2. $55 per person

Let the number of attendees = x, then

Multiply x by $55, then add the product to $250

The total cost for x attendees is

[tex]C=250+55x[/tex]

To find the charge of each attendee, divide the total cost by the number of attendees

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Charge for attende}e=\frac{C}{x} \\ \text{Charge for attende}e=\frac{250+55x}{x} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is

[tex]\frac{250+55x}{x}[/tex]
