Since the party hall offers $50 per person

Since there are 50 people, then

The party hall cost is


\begin{gathered} H_1=50*50 \\ H_1=\text{ \$2500} \end{gathered}

Since the hall rental offers $1150 and $27.50 per person

Since there are 50 people, then

Multiply 27.5 by 50 and add 1150 to the product to find the total cost


\begin{gathered} H_2=27.50*50+1150 \\ H_2=1375+1150 \\ H_2=\text{ \$2525} \end{gathered}

The correct answer is

The party hall's meal option costs $2500, the hall-only rental and external caterer option costs $2525. The party hall's meal option is cheaper

Option D
