Who got the better deal?
To determine who got the better deal, let's calculate the total costs for each family's meals based on the prices we found.-
The Johnsons:
2 burger meals + 5 hot dog meals
Cost = (2 * 8) + (5 * 6) = 16 + 30 = $46 -
The Wilsons:
5 burger meals + 2 hot dog meals
Cost = (5 * 8) + (2 * 6) = 40 + 12 = $52
To determine who got the better deal, we also check the individual meal combinations.
The Johnsons provided 7 meals for $46, resulting in roughly $6.57 per meal. The Wilsons provided 7 meals for $52, resulting in $7.43 per meal. Therefore, the Johnsons got the better deal.
