445 - 15 = 430
430 / 21.5 = ?
a restaurant charges a reservation fee of $15 for its party room, plus $21.50 per person. If the bill was $445, how many people were at the party? HELP PLEASE! IS THE ANSWER 30?

SO ITS 20 PEOPLE?
This is how I would intuitively do this one: 445-15=430 430/21.50=20
There were twenty people at the party. The 15 is there even if nobody came to the party, so you have to include that.
