Daryl Croff guaranteed a sales reception for 145 people, but the variance allowed at the Bright Sun hotel is only 10%. This means that Daryl would have to pay for at least 90% of the guaranteed number of people, in order to stay within the allowed variance. 90% of 145 is 130.5, which rounds up to 131. Therefore, the least amount of people Daryl would have to pay for is 131.Rate this question:
