Answer 1

To determine how many people Raphael can invite if he wants to spend $250 for the party, let's break down the pricing structure:

1. $100 for the first 10 people

   • If he invites 10 people or fewer, he pays $100.

2. $150 for more than 10 and up to 20 people

   • If he invites between 11 and 20 people, he pays $150.

3. $200 for more than 20 and up to 30 people

   • If he invites between 21 and 30 people, he pays $200.

4. $250 for more than 30 and up to 40 people

   • If he invites between 31 and 40 people, he pays $250.

5. $275 for more than 40 and up to 50 people

   • If he invites between 41 and 50 people, he pays $275.

Since Raphael wants to spend up to $250, he can invite up to 40 people.

Thus, the maximum number of people he can invite while staying within his budget is 40.
