Answer 1

276 guests

Explanation:

Let the number of guests be n. We are to find the value of n.

Then (1/3)n + (5/12)n + 69 = n, or

(9/12)n + 69 = n or (12/12)n

Solving for n, we get (3/12)n = 69, or (1/12)n = 23, or n = 12(23) = 276

There were 276 guests at the wedding.

Check: Does (1/3)(276) + (5/12)(276) + 69 work out to 276? yes
