The senior class from Puma High School raised funds for an end of the year party at Club Sizzle. It cost $4,000 to rent out Club Sizzle plus $20 per student for food and drinks. If the senior class raised $11,000, how many students can attend the end of the year party?

Let's set up an equation.

We start with $4,000 because no matter the amount of students, x, we will always have to pay this $4,000.

However, for every student x, we must pay $20.

Thus, our equation is y = 4,000 + 20x

Now, lets set this equal to 11,000, since that is the amount of money raised.

4,000 + 20x = 11000
20x = 7000
x = 350
