Tia is planning a sailing party for her friends. the boat rental is $150 plus an additional $15 per person. tia has saved up $400 dollars. what is the maximum number of people that can go sailing?

The maximum number of people who can sail is 16.

Explanation:

Tia has $ 400 to pay the boat rent. The boat rental fee is $ 150. Soon after paying the rent Tia would have a sum of money equal to $ 250 (400-150 = 250).

With the $ 250 remaining Tia will have to pay the additional for each guest. Each guest will cost aunt $ 15. To know how many guests Tia can invite you only need to divide 250 by 15. The result will be 16.6.

So Tia could invite 16 people.
