Question

Abha is hosting a party at a place that can hold up to 125 people. Seventy-eight people have said they are coming. How many more people can Abha invite?

Answer 1

78 + x = 125
x = 125 - 78
x = 47 <=== 47 more people can be invited

Answer 2

Hey there!
Our maximum amount of people is 125, that's the most we can have.
If we have 78 people agreeing to come, our general equation is:

125 - 78
(maxiumum people) - (People who say they're coming)

The answer to this general equation gets us the amount of people who can still come and Abha can invite within her limit number of people. This number is 47.

Therefore, Abha can invite 47 more people.

Hope this helps!
