Solving Two-Step Word Problems with Truffles

The video tutorial explains how to determine the number of guests at a party based on the number of chocolate truffles consumed. Akshay brought four boxes of truffles, each containing six truffles, and each guest ate three truffles with none left over. The tutorial sets up an equation to find the number of guests by equating the total truffles to the product of guests and truffles per guest. It then solves the equation to find that there were eight guests at the party.
