Question

Ashley predicts that 92% of the people she invites to her party will come. If she wants to have at least 23 guests, how many people should she invite to her party?

Answer 1

25 people

Explanation:

So, you're trying to find how many she needs to invite since only 92% show up. With this problem, you need to figure out 92% of what number is 23. An equation for this is:

92/100 = 23/x

1. Cross multiply to get 92x=2300

2. Divide both sides to get x by itself. You should get x= 25

3. So, she should invite 25 people
