$44-$28=$16
$16÷$1=16 guests at most
Answer:
16 guests
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we know Sidney’s retirement party costs a starting amount of $28. We also know that she can only spend $44 on her retirement party. The easiest way to do it in my opinion is subtract 28 from 44, giving you 16. Since we know that each guest is only $1, we know that the maximum number of guests Sidney can afford is 16 guests. I hope this helped and please don’t hesitate to ask for clarification!
