Brad's retirement party will cost $21.60 if he invites 6 guests. What is the maximum number of guests there can be if Brad can afford to spend a total of $39.60 on his retirement party? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer

To find the maximum number of guests, we use the concept of direct proportionality. If 6 guests cost $21.60, then the cost per guest is $21.60 / 6 = $3.60 per guest. If Brad can spend $39.60, the maximum number of guests he can invite is $39.60 / $3.60 = 11 guests.
