In this context, the number 8 represents the number of total burger meals purchased by the Johnsons and the Wilsons combined.
Similarly, in this context, the number 6 represents the number of total hot dog meals purchased by the Johnsons and the Wilsons combined.
To determine who got the better deal, we need to compare the cost of the burger and hot dog meals. However, this information is not provided in the given context.
In the context of the given situation:
- The 8 represents the number of burger meals purchased by both the Johnsons and the Wilsons combined.
- The 6 represents the number of hot dog meals purchased by both the Johnsons and the Wilsons combined.
To answer the question of who got the better deal, we can compare the prices of the meals purchased. However, we need some additional information:
- The question doesn't provide specific values for the cost of a burger meal or a hot dog meal. To determine who got the better deal, we would need this information.
- The total cost of a burger + hot dog meal is also not given. Without this information, we cannot directly compare the total costs of the meals purchased by the Johnsons and the Wilsons.
Therefore, based on the given information, we cannot determine who got the better deal between the Johnsons and the Wilsons.
In this context, the number 8 represents the total number of meals purchased by the Johnsons (2 burger meals + 5 hot dog meals = 8 meals).
On the other hand, the number 6 represents the total number of meals purchased by the Wilsons (5 burger meals + 2 hot dog meals = 6 meals).
To determine who got the better deal, we can compare the total cost of the meals for both families:
- The Johnsons spent $46 for their 8 meals.
- The Wilsons spent $52 for their 6 meals.
From these calculations, we can conclude that the Johnsons got the better deal as they paid less for a higher number of meals.
