Your answer

ooo

Answer 1

80 meals

Explanation:

Set up an equation where x is the number of meals:

100x + 3000 = 70x + 5400

Solve for x:

100x + 3000 = 70x + 5400

30x + 3000 = 5400

30x = 2400

x = 80

So, at 80 meals, the cost of the 2 venues will be the same

Answer 2

80 metals

Explanation:

100x + 3000 = 70x + 5400

100x + 3000 = 70x + 5400

30x + 3000 = 5400

30x = 2400

x = 80

So, at 80 meals, the cost of the 2 venues will be the exact same
