Answer:

Berta can invite 16 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Take the total money that Berta has.

$100

2. As the room rental cost is $50, subtract this quantity from the total money that Berta has:

$100 - $50 = $50

3. Take the remaining $50 and divide them between the cost per additional person to find the number of people that Berta can invite to her party:

[tex]\frac{50}{3}=16[/tex]

Therefore Berta can invite 16 people to her party and $2 dollars left over.
