In this context, the 8 represents the cost of a burger meal.
The 6 represents the cost of a hot dog meal.
To determine who got the better deal, we can compare the total cost of the meals for each family.
The Johnsons bought 2 burger meals ($8 x 2 = $16) and 5 hot dog meals ($6 x 5 = $30), which totals to $46.
The Wilsons bought 5 burger meals ($8 x 5 = $40) and 2 hot dog meals ($6 x 2 = $12), which totals to $52.
Comparing the total costs, the Johnsons got the better deal as their meals were cheaper ($46) than the Wilsons' ($52).
In this context, the number 8 represents the total number of meals (burger and hot dog) purchased by both the Johnsons and the Wilsons.
On the other hand, the number 6 represents the difference between the number of burger meals purchased by the Wilsons (5) and the number of burger meals purchased by the Johnsons (2).
To determine who got the better deal, we need additional information regarding the cost of a burger meal, the cost of a hot dog meal, and the total cost of a meal (burger + hot dog). Could you please provide this information?
To understand the meaning of the numbers 8 and 6 in context, let's break down the information provided.
The question tells us that the Johnsons bought 2 burger meals and 5 hot dog meals for a total of $46, while the Wilsons bought 5 burger meals and 2 hot dog meals for a total of $52. Here's how we can find the meaning of the numbers:
1. The number 8 represents "How many burger meals" the overall solution provides. To get this number, we add the burger meals purchased by the Johnsons (2) and the burger meals purchased by the Wilsons (5). Therefore, 2 + 5 = 7. However, the solution given is (8, 6), so it seems there might be a mistake or inconsistency in the information provided.
2. The number 6 represents "How many hot dog meals" the overall solution provides. Similarly, we add the hot dog meals purchased by the Johnsons (5) and the hot dog meals purchased by the Wilsons (2). So, 5 + 2 = 7. Again, this conflicts with the solution (8, 6) given in the question.
Due to the inconsistency in the provided solution and the calculation based on the given information, we cannot determine the exact meaning of the numbers 8 and 6 in this context.
As for who got the better deal between the Johnsons and the Wilsons, we cannot determine that either since the calculations are incomplete or inaccurate.
