    25

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since she predicts that 80% of the invited people come, she needs to invite a number greater than 20, so that 80% of that number is 20.

    Let the number of invited people be x.

    80% of x must be 20.

    80% * x = 20

    0.8x = 20

    Divide both sides by 0.8

    x = 25

    Answer: She should invite 25 people.

    Check: Let's find 20% of 25. If it is 20, then 25 is correct.

    80% of 25 = 0.8 * 25 = 20

    Since 80% of 25 is 20, the answer, 25, is correct.
