Answer 1

To find out which restaurant charges the least amount of money per fry, we need to calculate the cost per fry for each restaurant.

1. Restaurant 1:

   • Cost: $1.99
   • Number of fries: 22
   • Cost per fry = $1.99 / 22 ≈ $0.090

2. Restaurant 2:

   • Cost: $1.49
   • Number of fries: 24
   • Cost per fry = $1.49 / 24 ≈ $0.062

3. Restaurant 3:

   • Cost: $2.49
   • Number of fries: 43
   • Cost per fry = $2.49 / 43 ≈ $0.058

4. Restaurant 4:

   • Cost: $2.89
   • Number of fries: 48
   • Cost per fry = $2.89 / 48 ≈ $0.060

Now, let's compare the calculated costs per fry:

• Restaurant 1: ~$0.090
• Restaurant 2: ~$0.062
• Restaurant 3: ~$0.058
• Restaurant 4: ~$0.060

The least cost per fry is approximately $0.058 at Restaurant 3.

So, the answer is C. Restaurant 3.
