Party planning project
By: Alejandro Cintron
Part A- Grab some Grub
Note -
Two companies have worked with us in the past to provide food for students whenever we have a party day. Recently, however, the companies have come under new management. This means that their prices may have changed a bit since the last time we used them. I managed to get some flyers from them regarding their rates for large orders of food.
Equations
y= 10x + 20
Pizza Palace
y= 9.25x + 61.25
Hoppin' Around
y= 75x
Jumping Jack's Bounce House
y= 54x + 84

Point of Intersection
Critical Thinking Questions- Part A
- Yes because of the point of intersection being in 55 students
- If you had $1000 for food you would have to take 98 students
my math- 98 x 10 = 980
980 + 20 = 1000 $20 = catering cost
And yes, you can have a decimal as an answer because the answer is a price
Proposed plan
Part- B Bounce House
Note –
I have decided that an obstacle course would be the best choice for our outdoor activity. I have taken the liberty of collecting some flyers from two of the highest rated companies in the area. I believe they charge an hourly rate, but they did mention something about a security deposit when I talked with them. You might want to check the flyer over carefully when thinking about the cost. Hope your planning is going well.

Critical Thinking Questions
- Yes there is a time where both companies cost the same and that is when both companies reach 4 hours
- You would have hopping around for 10 hours and jumping jacks for almost 12 hours. Yes you would be able to have a decimal as your answer because it is also the price
