You estimate that:35 of the people who come will have two hot dogs with buns; 25 of the people who come will have one hot dog with a bun; 15 of the people who come will have a hot dog without a bun. You find that hot dogs come in packages of 6 for $1.59 and packages of 10 for $1.99 You also find that buns come in packages of 8 for $0.99 and packages of 12 for $1.29. Use this information to order enough hot dogs and hot dog buns for the people coming to the picnic. Show how many packages of each size you will purchase and compute the total cost of these items. Don't forget to add 6% sales tax. Show how you arrived at your answers. Since about 15% of the people coming are your friends your parents are making you pay 15% of the cost. How much will you have to pay?_____________
