Answer 1

To determine the price per attendee, we first need to find the cost incurred by the attendees beyond the base rental fee.

From the table:

- When there are 0 attendees, the cost is $250 (this is likely the base rental fee).
- When there are 20 attendees, the cost is $480. The difference in cost is $480 - $250 = $230 for 20 attendees.
- To find the price per attendee, we divide the additional cost by the number of attendees:

\[
\text{Price per attendee} = \frac{\text{Additional cost}}{\text{Number of attendees}} = \frac{230}{20} = 11.5
\]

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

The correct response is:
**$11.50**.
