My question is: Sam is serving spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. The pasta costs $1.00 per box, a jar of sauce is $2.00 and 1 pound of meatballs is $5.00. He wants to stretch this meal into 8 servings. How much does each serving cost? Your thoughts:
The pasta is $1.00, the sauce is $2.00 and the meat is $5.00 for a total of 1 + 2 + 5 = $8.00. He wants to stretch this meal into 8 servings so each serving will cost 8 / 8 = $1.00. The final answer: 1.
