Answer 1

In the context of the problem:

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

To determine who got the better deal:

• The Johnsons bought 2 burger meals and 5 hot dog meals:
  Cost = (2 * 8) + (5 * 6) = 16 + 30 = $46.

• The Wilsons bought 5 burger meals and 2 hot dog meals:
  Cost = (5 * 8) + (2 * 6) = 40 + 12 = $52.

Since the Johnsons' total cost was $46 for their meals and the Wilsons' total cost was $52, the Johnsons got the better deal.

So, for your inputs, you would respond:

• What does the 8 mean in context? The cost of a burger meal
• What does the 6 mean in context? The cost of a hot dog meal
• Who got the better deal? The Johnsons
