The 2023 football team from bailey high school raise funds for their kick off party at club victory. It costs 2,500 to rent out club victory plus $15 per student for food and drinks. if the team raised 9,500 how many students can attend the kick off party? Write an equation that can be used to find the number of students that can attend the kick off party

Let's define the number of students that can attend the kick-off party as $ x $.

The total cost to rent out Club Victory and cover food and drinks for the students is composed of:
1. A fixed cost of $2,500 to rent the venue.
2. A variable cost of $15 per student.

The total amount raised is $9,500.

The equation for the total cost can be written as:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = 2500 + 15x
\]
Since the team raised $9,500, we set the equation equal to that amount:
\[
2500 + 15x = 9500
\]

This equation can be solved to find the number of students $ x $ that can attend the party.

Would you like me to solve this equation for you or would you like to try it first?
