Solution

$450 = 34.50 n + 8.50$ (M1)

Note: Award (M1) for equating the cost equation to $450$ (may be stated as an inequality).

$12.8 (12.7971 \dots)$ (A1)

$12$ (A1)(ft) (C3)

Note: The final answer must be an integer.
The final (A1)(ft) is awarded for rounding their answer down to a whole number, provided their unrounded answer is seen.
