# Group internship interviews: how to contribute without taking over

## The cheapest room does not fit the task

Fictional group case: choose a room for 55 attendees with a $650 maximum budget. Everyone needs a place, and equipment fees are mandatory. Compare capacity and all-in cost before debating preferences.

### Fictional venue options; amounts in US dollars

| Venue | Capacity | Room cost | Required equipment |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A | 40 | $400 | $0 |
| B | 70 | $640 | $0 |
| C | 60 | $560 | $120 |

## Your turn

Choose the feasible option and explain it in a sentence another participant can check. How would your answer change if attendance rose to 75?

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

In your next practice case, separate mandatory constraints from preferences. State an infeasible result when the numbers require it instead of forcing a recommendation.
