$ 17

Explanation:

It is given that:

The fees of caterer is dependent on the number of meals she provides.

Also, it is given that:

The total fees is: $ 1088

and the number of meals provided by her is: 64

We know that the cost of 1 meal is calculated as the ratio of the total fees to the number of meals provided by her.

i.e.

`\text{Cost\ of\ one\ meal}=(1088)/(64)\\\\i.e.\\\\\text{Cost\ of\ one\ meal}=\$\ 17`
