Plates at a Party
Tianna is planning her party. She bought a package of 2 dozen paper plates. This will give her 2 extras, and she'll still have enough for each person to have 2 plates: one plate for their hot dogs and chips, another for ice cream and cake.

If each person uses 2 plates, that means there will be 11 people at the party. After subtracting herself, her brother, and her sister, Tianna will have 8 friends at her party.
