who got the better deal?

Answer 1

In this context, the number 8 represents the price of each burger meal, while the number 6 represents the price of each hot dog meal.

To determine who got the better deal, we can compare the prices of the meals. The total cost for the Johnsons' meals is $46, and the total cost for the Wilsons' meals is $52. Since the Johnsons' total cost is lower, they got the better deal.
