1 answer

To find out how many senior lunches the grant can provide, we need to divide the total grant amount by the cost per lunch.

Total grant amount = $1.925 * 10^6
Cost per lunch = $2.75

Number of senior lunches provided = Total grant amount / Cost per lunch

= ($1.925 * 10^6) / ($2.75)

Dividing the number, we get:

= 7 * 10^5 lunches

So, the grant can provide 7 * 10^5 (700,000) senior lunches.
