Let "P" be the number of people James can invite to his party.
The cost of hosting the party in terms of the number of people invited is 50 + 15P.
The maximum number of people James can invite is determined by the budget for the party, which is $155.
Setting the cost equal to the budget and solving for P, we get 50 + 15P = 155.
Subtracting 50 from both sides, we get 15P = 105.
Dividing both sides by 15, we get P = 7.
Thus, James can invite a maximum of 7 people to his party. Answer: \boxed{7}.
