    Okay, so lets say that the surpremes are about $15.99 which ends up being about $16 plus tax. So you would do about $16.15 x 5 which equals $80.75. Now that we have that we can move on to the cheese pizzas which are going to be cheaper because it has no toppings, okay so now we can do about $10 plus tax. Now we have $10.15 x 5 = 50.75. Now were up to $131.05. So for cheese bread, it's about $5 or $6 dollars so lets do that multiplied by 5. We now have $30 if the cheesy bread is equal to $6, but if it's $5, then it's going to be $25. So let's just say it's $6, so let's add it up, now it's $161.05. Lastly, dessert pizzas which will be about the same as cheese pizzas so let's just add up the cost of the cheese pizzas to the total. We now have $211.8 in total. So he was pretty close but it all depends on where you get your pizza from and if you get it delivered or not. So the answer is pretty much reasonable.
