Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Because everyone had one plate and one drink, we can combine those individual prices.

5 + 1 = 6

Now we divide 600, the total cost, by 6, the cost for one person.

600 ÷ 6 = 100

So now we know that 100 people went to the party, as there was nothing left over.
