Interpreting Decimal Results in Event Budgeting

When calculating the maximum number of attendees for a corporate event using a budget inequality, the mathematical solution is often a decimal (for example, solving 42.75p500{}42.75p \leq 500 yields p11.69p \leq 11.69). Based on the budget limit strategy, what type of number must the final answer be, and in which direction must you round the decimal to stay within budget?
