To find the number of invitations each person has to take to the post office, you need to divide the total number of invitations by the total number of people responsible for mailing invitations.
In this case, there are 2 people getting married (Susan and Benjamin) and 3 members of the bridal party helping them. So, the total number of people responsible for mailing invitations is 2 + 3 = 5.
To find how many invitations each person has to take, you divide the total number of invitations (225) by the total number of people (5).
225 รท 5 = 45
Therefore, each person has to take 45 invitations to the post office.
