**An individual is planning their birthday party. Last year, they invited 30 people and bought 60 hamburgers. Afterward, 3 hamburgers were left over. This year, they are planning to invite 20 people and buy 40 hamburgers. Should the individual have hamburgers left over this year if they expect everyone to eat 2 hamburgers each?**

Answer


YesNo

To determine if the individual will have hamburgers left over this year, we need to calculate how many hamburgers will be consumed and compare that to the number of hamburgers they plan to buy.

**Given:**

- Last year: 30 people, 60 hamburgers, 3 left over.
- This year: 20 people, 40 hamburgers.
- Expected consumption: 2 hamburgers per person.

**Step 1: Calculate the expected total consumption this year:**

\[
\text{Total hamburgers consumed} = \text{Number of people} \times \text{Hamburgers per person} = 20 \times 2 = 40
\]

**Step 2: Compare the hamburgers bought with the expected consumption:**

- Hamburgers bought = 40
- Expected hamburgers consumed = 40

Since the number of hamburgers bought (40) matches the expected consumption (40), there will be **no hamburgers left over**.

**Answer: No.**
