Lesly Edwards · Answer 1

You could invite 16 people and have money left over.

Bridget · Answer 2

The answer is 16 $3.50 plus $2.20 = $5.70 $5.70 times 16 = 91.2 16 is the answer because you only have $95, you can't invite more than 16 people, you can't invite 17 because it would have been a total of $97.
