A buffet-style restaurant has 18 tables that seat 23 people each. A church group of 401 has rented the restaurant for a banquet. If the pastor, his wife, and his 9 kids come as invited guests, what is the least number of people that can sit at any one table?

21.......

The rest of the reasoning in your original post of this question is correct.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok. so the correct answer is 21.
OpenStudy (shadowfiend):
401 church group members + 9 kids + 1 paster + 1 wife = 412 people
412 people / 23 people per table = 17 tables with a remainder of 21
That means 17 tables will have 23 people at them, with one table having 21.
OpenStudy (shadowfiend):
Correct.
