2 The Millers are sending out invitations Eric Signed 15 of the invitations Then James signed 18 of the remaining invitations Tammy signed 20 of the invitations class=

Respuesta :

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with 50 invites

Eric signs 1/5 of those and 1/5 of 50 is 10 so we subtract 10 from 50 to get 40

James signs 1/8 of the 40 invites left, leaving them with 35 more invites because 1/8 of 40 is 5 so we subtract 5 from 40.

Then Tammy signs 20% of of the remaining 35 which is 7.

Once again we’re subtracting: this time 7 from 35 which leaves us with 28.

Sorry my explanation is all over the place, I hope it makes sense!
