It would be $6 per student while the fixed cost is $150
x + 100 y = 750 x + 150 y = 1050 50 y = 300 y = 6 x = 750 − 600 = 150 The fixed cost is $150, while the per-student cost is $6.
The caterer's fixed cost is $150, and the cost per student served is $6. This was determined by setting up two equations based on the information provided about costs for different numbers of students. Solving these equations led us to find both costs accurately.
