Proposed Plan:
I choose would pizza palace because its $8 per person and that’s cheap but the $50 fee is a lot but that one time so and lot of people are coming so they will be a lot of food.This company is the most cheap and reliable
Critical Thinking Questions
Describe the steps you used to solve each row of the table.
First I thought about how much kids will be there around 50-200. Then I apply the equations to 50,100,150,200. Lastly I add all the answer to the table.
2. Will there ever be a number of students where both companies will cost the same? Describe the steps you would use and then solve for the number of students for which both companies will cost the same amount. yes for pizza palace and stacked. I got a sheet of paper and multiplied 8 and 9 by 1 through 10 then add the fee and see the answer. For pizza palace is 2 students and it equals $66 and stacked is 4 student and equal $66
3.How do the steps you followed in Question 2 compare to the Order of Operations? It involves with multiply and addition
4.If you only have a budget of $1000 for food, how many people, maximum, would you be able to have at the 7th Grade Blowout? Can you have a decimal or fraction as part of your answer? Why or why not? 119 students is the maximum. You can’t have a decimal or fraction as part of your answer because it doesn’t represent anything. It’s not a person because decimal and fraction are not people

Proposed Plan: I would choose classic spin because its $85 per hour and they can perform for however you want. But they a $75 fee , but its cheaper then spin city.
Critical Thinking Questions
Describe the steps you used to solve each row of the table.
First I thought about how many hours the party, so I did 1-5 hour and then I applied the hours to the equations and write it down on the table.
2.Will there ever be a number of hours where both companies will cost the same? Describe the steps you would use and then solve for the number of hours for which both companies will cost the same amount. No, because one is higher price and other is lower price.
3.How do the steps you followed in Question 2 compare to the Order of Operations? It
doesn't followed because they were no same hours
4. If you only have a budget of $1000 for a DJ or music company, how many hours, maximum, would you be able to afford? Can you have a decimal or fraction as part of your answer? Why or why not? 11hr maximum. You can’t use decimals and fractions because everything should be in hours.
