The correct answer for this question would be option D. 6. Given that per dinner, you can spend $8 and per lunch is $5. Given that you can spend at most $42, you can only eat out 6 times. 3 times for lunch and 3 times for dinner.

Since 8 times 4 would be $24 in total, and 5 x 3 would be $15 in total, so the overall would be $39. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
