400/17 = 23.52 guests. Since you cant have 0.52 guests, you need 24 guests. The total charge would be 17 x 24 = 408.
everyones charge would be exactly 17.

24 people, take 400 divide it by 17 and round up so the total is over 400. The average is a red herring, it has nothing to do with the answer to the problem because the rate is constant.

400 divided by 17 = 23.5 > 24 Guests

you need to divide the 400 into 17.
you'll get an answer of 23.5294
we know that we could not have a number of guests that would be equal to 23.5294, so you'll be needing 24 guests.=)
you kinda need to round off.
and also, if you're going to have only 23 guests, you'll only have $391. so you really need to have 24 guests to achieve $400. it would be better that you exceed.=)
hope i had helped you.=)

about 24 people can go, but it would be $408.
