Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can make an equation using the values provided to us. The equation is shown below:

[tex]350 + 32.50x = 1,500[/tex]

The first step is to subtract 350 from 1,500.

[tex]32.50x=1,500-350[/tex]

[tex]32.50x=1,150[/tex]

The last step is to divide 1,150 by 32.50 to get x by itself.

[tex]x=\frac{1,150}{32.50}[/tex]

[tex]x=35.38[/tex]

Kellen can have 35 people at the shower.
