confusing math problem? easy but still confused?

Based on the information you provided here, just divide 210 by 2 to find out how many relatives each invited. There's no way to know about the remaining 120 guests without more information.

If 210 are relatives and family members of both the bride and groom, I would subtract that 210 from 330, which gives 120. That's the number of guests left to invite who are not related to both. I would then divide the 120 by 2, and I would say that each should invite 60.

Another possibility is that since 210 people might be considered invitees of both the bride and the groom, you might add 210 to the 60, giving each side 270 guests (including those who are receiving invitations from both the bride and the groom.)

The problem isn't worded very well, and I think it is made to trick you. I think my second paragraph is the answer to the trick. If there is no trick intended, it still isn't well-written, but then 60 would be the answer.

Go prepared with both answers.

Divide 210 by 2. ignore the 330 because its just there to confuse you. read the question again 210 guests are relatives and family members if they agreed to invite the same number of family members and relatives then the other 120 are not part of the equation.

There really isn't enough explanation of the question. If they are a married couple then all 210 family members and relatives belong to both of them. They could have each invited all 210. Also, just because 210 attended, that does not mean that more were not invited. You will have to include all assumptions made in your answer.

The word missing from the problem is each. How many did the couple invite each. Maybe they both invited the same number of people. Maybe they both agreed on inviting a total of 210. Now that we have decided that the wording is indeed confusing, we will give an answer which we can be certain. The couple invited an AVERAGE of 105 family members and relatives each. The proper wording of the second sentence should be: If the couple each invited the same number of family members and relatives; how many did each invite? If you find an ambiguous question, give the teacher the answer you think he/she is looking for and point out the ambiguity. You might get extra credit.

210 is the total number of relatives and family members of the couple? Then each invited half of them (only way they could each invite the same amount). Take 210 and divide it by 2.

wouldnt the answer just be 105?

because if you divide 210 by 2 then u get 105

and if the woman invited 105 and the man invited 105

105+105= 210

very simple problem, you just have to do the thinking instead of asking other people on the web

each invited 105 family memebers and relatives

the rest of the people at the party were friends
