The lodge at the Three Lakes Resort is offering the following two options for a holiday weekend. Option 1: 3 nights including six meals for $132.00 Option 2: 3 nights including two meals for $109.00 At these rates, what is the average cost per meal?
the base price would be the same, the room is independent of meals., it is possible to write an equation for this problem.
3 night + 6 meal = $132.00 3 night + 2 meals = $109.00
we can notice there's just a difference of 4 meals in the plans. (they both have 3 nights, they both have also 2 meals in common) only difference is one has 4 meals more than the other. also, only difference is $23. then,you can get the avg price per meal with this information, if the 2 cost the same like the additional 4.
