The coaches on the east side sports club wants to buy a lunch for each of the 209 members what is the total cost of lunch if they buy the works pieces salad fruit and juice for each member show your work and explain how you found your answer

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost of lunch for each of the 209 members of the East Side Sports Club, we need to determine the cost of "the works" meal, which includes a salad, fruit, and juice for each member.

Let's assume the following costs for each component of the meal:

• Cost of Salad: $S$ (let's say $5)
• Cost of Fruit: $F$ (let's say $2)
• Cost of Juice: $J$ (let's say $3)

Now, we can calculate the total cost for one lunch meal:

$$\text{Cost per meal}=S+F+J$$ Substituting the prices we assumed:

$$\text{Cost per meal}=5+2+3=10$$

Now, to find the total cost for all 209 members, we multiply the cost of one meal by the number of members:

$$\text{Total Cost}=\text{Cost per meal}\times \text{Number of members}$$ $$\text{Total Cost}=10\times 209=2090$$

Thus, the total cost of lunch for 209 members is $2090.

Summary:

• Assumed costs were used to calculate the price per meal.
• The total was found by multiplying the price per meal by the number of members.

Note: Adjustments can be made based on actual food costs if they differ from the examples provided.
