Answer:

9 tables

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract the remainder from the original:

  • 98 - 26
  • 72

Now, we know that she places 8 spoons per table, so let's divide the number of spoons by 8 to find the number of tables:

  • 72 ÷ 8
  • 9

There are 9 tables at the retirement party.
