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?

They messed up their math a little. The answer was 21.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21.......

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

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.
