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.
