You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The price of a four-star meal, only $50 per couple decades ago, has since increased 400%. The current price of a four-star meal is which of the following?
it is selection C as best i can determine.
400% of 50 is equal to 4 * 50 which is equal to 200.
that's how much it has increased.
add that to 50 and you get a total cost of $250.
selection C states (after i cleaned it up) ....
C.
A four-star meal is $250 because 4 times $ 50 equals $ 200, which is added to $50.
looks like you have a problem with your computer echoing what you type, so i cleaned it up as best i could.
hopefully i did it right.
