Answer 1

To find the price per attendee, we can use the information provided in the table. We will look at the difference in cost as the number of attendees increases.

Let's analyze the cost for two different numbers of attendees. We can take the number of attendees at 20 and 50 for calculation:

1. The cost for 20 attendees is $480.
2. The cost for 50 attendees is $825.

Now, we will calculate the difference in cost and the difference in the number of attendees:

• Difference in cost: $825 - $480 = $345
• Difference in attendees: 50 - 20 = 30

Now, divide the difference in cost by the difference in the number of attendees to find the price per attendee:

Price per attendee = Difference in cost / Difference in attendees Price per attendee = $345 / 30 = $11.50

Thus, the price per attendee is $11.50.

The correct response is $11.50.
