    The answer to your question is 108 guests.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Budget = $5676

    She has spent = $2652

    price per guest = $28

    number of guests = x

    Process

    1. - Determine the quantity of money available.

    Money available = 5676 - 2652

    = $3024

    2. - Divide the money available by the price per guest

    Number of guests = $3024/$28

    Number of guests = 108

    3. - Conclusion

    She can invite at most 108 guests

    Answer: she can invite less than 108 guests to the reception and stay under budget.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of guests that she can invite.

    The meal price per guest is 28. It means that the meal price for x guests would be 28x.

    She wants to spend less than her budget of 5,676, and Margaret has already spent 2,652. It means that the amount she has left to spend is

    5676 - 2652 = 3024

    Since she wants to spend less that 3024, then

    28x < 3024

    x < 3024/28

    x < 108
