Final answer:
Without the exact prices for sandwiches, fries, and malts, we can conjecture based on a similar scenario that Garrett would spend a total of $12 for 2 sandwiches, 2 fries, and 2 malts, assuming each item costs $2 like Alphonso's burgers.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires solving a simple arithmetic problem related to consumer budget constraints, similar to the scenario described for Alphonso who needs to allocate his $10 budget between burgers and bus tickets. Although the original question about Garrett's lunch expenses doesn't provide the cost of sandwiches, fries, and malts, if we apply the context provided where burgers cost $2 each and suppose that sandwiches, fries, and malts have the same prices as Alphonso's burgers, we can calculate the total cost for Garrett's lunch.
For instance, if sandwiches are also $2 each, Garrett would spend $4 on 2 sandwiches. Similarly, if fries and malts are priced the same as sandwiches ($2 each), Garrett would spend an additional $4 on 2 orders of fries, and another $4 on 2 malts. The total cost Garrett would spend on lunch for himself and his friends would then be:
- $4 for sandwiches
- $4 for fries
- $4 for malts
Adding these together:
$4 + $4 + $4 = $12
Hence, Garrett would spend a total of $12 on lunch for himself and his friends if each item costs $2, just like Alphonso's burgers.
