To determine if it is possible to include 10 children and 5 adults within the budget, we need to calculate the total cost for this scenario.
The cost per child is $10.50, and there are 10 children, so the cost for the children would be 10 * $10.50 = $<<10*10.5=105>>105.
The cost per adult is $5.50, and there are 5 adults, so the cost for the adults would be 5 * $5.50 = $<<5*5.5=27.5>>27.5.
Adding the cost for the children, adults, and the initial cost of $150, the total cost would be $105 + $27.5 + $150 = $<<105+27.5+150=282.5>>282.5.
The total cost of $282.5 is within the budget of $300, so it is possible to include 10 children and 5 adults while staying within the budget.
Meha is helping her aunt to plan a birthday party for her cousin at the science center. Her aunt tells her that the party will cost $150, plus $10.50 per child and $5.50 per adult. There needs to be at least one adult and at least one child at the party. She has budgeted $300 for the party and that is the maximum amount she wants to spend
Is it possible for the party to include 10 children and five adults?
