The coaches of the East Side Sports Club want to buy a lunch for each of the 209 members. What is the total cost of the lunch if they buy The Works (pizza, 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 the lunch for each of the 209 members at the East Side Sports Club, we'll need to know the cost of The Works (pizza, salad, fruit, and juice) for one member.

Let's assume the cost of The Works for one member is \(C\).

To find the total cost for all 209 members, we can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Number of Members} \times \text{Cost per Member} \]

Given:

• Number of Members = 209
• Cost per Member = \(C\)

Now, plug the numbers into the formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 209 \times C \]

Thus, the total cost of the lunch for all members depends on the value of \(C\) (the price of The Works). If you provide the cost of The Works, I can calculate the total cost for you.
