Answer:

7

Explanation:

Well if it's $8 for 4 people then you have to divide to get the rate:

$8/4 =
(2)/(person)

now you can divide the disired amount to get the number of people:

$14/
(2)/(person) = 7 people

7, because 8/4 = 2 which means that 1 guest = $2. So if we do 14 / 2 to see how many guests that would be, it's 7.
