Answer:

  • Below given.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 162 total guests.
  • 3 servers

Let the number of guests the second server helped be x.

then the first server helped 3x

then the third server helped [(3x)*2] = 6x

Equation in total:

                               6x + 3x + x = 162

                                10x = 162

                                   x = 16.2

  • First server helped: 3 * 16.2 = 49 guests
  • Second server helped: 16 guests
  • Third server helped: 6x = 6(16.2) = 97 guests
