According to the number of cups, 564 people can be invited to the party.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple question of cross multiplication

DATA:

1. Total number of cups of yogurt is 423 cups

2. 1 serving = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] th of a cup

3. Each guest gets [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a cup or 1 serving

4. Find out how many guests can be invited to the party,

Cups : People

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] : 1

423 : p

5. Cross multiply

[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] p = 423 x 1

3p = 423 x 4

p = [tex]\frac{1692}{3}[/tex]

p = 564

Therefore, according to the number of cups, 564 people can be invited to the party.
