Answer 1

To find the price per attendee, we can analyze the data in the table.

We can calculate the total cost and the number of attendees for two different entries to find out how much the cost increases with additional attendees.

Let's take the first two entries in the table for calculation:

1. For 20 attendees:
- Cost = $480

2. For 0 attendees:
- Cost = $250 (this is the rental fee)

Now, we can determine the cost for 20 attendees by subtracting the rental fee from the total cost for that number of attendees:
- Cost for 20 attendees = $480 - $250 = $230

Now we divide this cost by the number of attendees (20) to find the cost per attendee:
- Cost per attendee = $230 / 20 = $11.50

Therefore, the price per attendee is **$11.50**.
