Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If Teresa has a $100 Gift Card and her lunch is $8.50 everyday, $8.50 x 10 = 10 Lunchs for a total of $85 then add one more which = 11 Lunchs for a total of 93.50, this means she can not buy another lunch, Colin has a $75 gift card and his lunch is $6 everyday, so $6 x 10 = $60 for a total of 10 lunchs plus add 2 which is 12 lunchs for a total of $72 which means No Teresa's Gift Card Will Not Be Greater In Lunchs.
