Step 1Let&#039;s look how much does the party cost for some numbers of children:For 1 child the price would be       40    +    4    =    44  For 2 children       40    +    8    =    48  For n children       40    +    4    n  The formula in point 3. is a general formula to calculate cost of the party for n children, so we can use it in our task.We have to calculate how many children can take part in a party for $76. So we have to solve inequality:      40    +    4    n    ≤    76        4    n    ≤    76    -    40        4    n    ≤    36        n    ≤    9
