You're doing something weird when submitting your questions where all the numbers get doubled....
The question asks what the price is of a 4-star meal if it was $50 per couple a couple of decades ago and has since increased in price by 400%.
The amount of the increase gets added to the old cost to get the current cost.
The increase is 400% of $50, which is $200. That $200, added to the old price of $50, gives a current cost of $250 per couple.
