B. 17 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of children = x

Cost of hiring a bouncy castle = £4.70 * x + £86

What is the cost of the bouncy castle for 13 children

Cost of hiring a bouncy castle = £4.70 * 13 + £86

= £61.1 + £86

= £147.10

How many children went to the party when cost of hiring bouncy castle = £165.90

Cost of hiring a bouncy castle = £4.70 * x + £86

£165.90 = £4.70 * x + £86

165.90 = 4.70x + 86

165.90 - 86 = 4.70x

79.9 = 4.70x

x = 79.9/4.70

= 17

x = 17 children
