Tanika booked a banquet hall for a party. The hall charged $15 per person, with a required tip of $60 for the waiters. Tanika knows that the total bill was $315 without tax, but she lost track of how many people attended. She writes and solves an equation, where p represents the number of people who attended.

I have no idea what the listed steps were, but see what you have to do to solve the equation
15p + 60 = 315
just know 17 people would have attended
