Answer 1

To find out how much Christine will spend on meals for 6 people, calculate the cost of one meal by adding each item's cost and then multiply by 6; the total amount will be $41.82.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the total amount Christine will spend on the meal for 6 people, we need to calculate the cost of one meal by adding the cost of a medium soda, a cheeseburger, and an order of sweet potato fries. Then, we'll multiply the cost of one meal by 6, as she is buying for 6 people.

First, we calculate the cost of one meal:

• Medium soda: $1.19
• Cheeseburger: $3.19
• Sweet potato fries: $2.59

Total cost of one meal: $1.19 (+) $3.19 (+) $2.59 = $6.97

Next, we find the total cost for 6 meals:

Total cost for 6 people: $6.97 (x) 6 = $41.82

So, the total amount Christine will spend is $41.82.
