Sarah is planning a party at a party hall. The meal option is $50 per person and includes the hall for free. The hall-only option is $1,500 but allows an external caterer, which charges $30 per person. Sarah plans to invite 40 people. Which is a better cost comparison

meal option is cheaper with total cost = $2000 and hall only option is total cost $2700

Explanation:

given data

The meal option = $50 per person.

Hall free = $ 0 per person

total guest = 40

hall-only option = $1,500

external caterer = $30 per person

solution

when we go for meal option than hall free so total cost will be as

total cost = total guest * $50 per person

total cost = 40 * $50

total cost = $2000

and

when we go for hall only option than total cost will be

total cost = total guest * external caterer charge + hall-only option

total cost = 40 * $30 + $1500

total cost = $2700

so

meal option is cheaper with total cost = $2000 and hall only option is total cost $2700
