Explanation:

It is given that:

Jonathan has a maximum of $200 to spend on appetizers.

Now , Crab cakes cost $2.25 per serving and chicken kabobs cost $1.25 per serving.

Also 45 guests choose the crab cakes and 65 guests choose the chicken kabobs.

so, the amount spend on Crabs=45×2.25=$101.25

Hence, the total amount Jonathan plan on spending on appetizers is:

= cost spend on Crabs+Cost spend on Chicken Kabobs

= $101.25+$ 81.25

= $ 182.5.
