Answer: 276

Step-by-step explanation: Let “x” be the number of guest.

1/3 x +5/12x + 69 = x Simplifying and solving for x … where x = 276

1/3(276) + 5/12(276) + 69 = 276

92 + 115 + 69 = 276

Answer:

276 Guests

Explanation:

Calculation to determine how many guest were at the wedding

Guests that choose beef =1/3

Guests that choose chicken= 5/12

Guests that choose vegetarian=69

Now let calculate the how many guest were at the wedding

Let x represent the numbers of guest that were present at the wedding

Hence,

x/3 + 5x/12 + 69 = x

9x/12 + 69 = x

12x/12 - 9x/12 = 69

3x/12 = 69

x/4 = 69

x=69*4

x = 276 guests

Therefore the numbers of guests that were at the wedding is 276
