Step 1: 198 ×
= 66, the number of men who left the party
Step 2: 256×
= 64, the number of women who left the party
66+64=130
Since 130 is the number of people that left, you would subtract it from the total number of people at the party originally.
198+256=454
454-130=325
So, 325 people are left at the party
