Answer:

7 people are going in the minivan.

Explanation:

Since Chris AND the other 18 people are going, add 1 to 18 (19).

There are 3 cars, which have 4 each. We can use multiplication to determine that there are a total of 3 x 4 people in the cars, which is equivalent to 12.

Since the remaining party people are going in the minivan, we will subtract 12 from 19 to get 7.

Therefore, 7 people are going in the minivan.

Hope this helps!
