Answer 1

In the context of the problem:

• The 8 means the cost of a burger meal.
• The 6 means the cost of a hot dog meal.

To determine who got the better deal:

• The Johnsons spent $46 for 2 burger meals and 5 hot dog meals.
• The Wilsons spent $52 for 5 burger meals and 2 hot dog meals.

Calculating total costs:

• For the Johnsons: 2(8) + 5(6) = 16 + 30 = $46.
• For the Wilsons: 5(8) + 2(6) = 40 + 12 = $52.

Analyzing cost per meal:

• Johnsons: 2 burger meals + 5 hot dog meals = 7 meals for $46 (about $6.57 per meal).
• Wilsons: 5 burger meals + 2 hot dog meals = 7 meals for $52 (about $7.43 per meal).

Therefore, the response to "Who got the better deal?" is: The Johnsons.
