It’s time for the holidays and you are preparing a holiday dinner for twenty people (the class). The meal will include: one main dish, four side dishes and two desserts. For this project, you are going to be assigned the type of dish your group will be in charge of, figure how much of each ingredient you will need to make enough to feed twenty people, and how much the dish will cost.

Now that you know how much you need, you will have to buy the supplies. Assuming that you have none of the supplies when you start to bake, write down a list of supplies. Make a list for all ingredients needed to make the dinner. Include in the list the name of the ingredient, amount in the container, and the price of each container. Write on a piece of notebook paper and put it in your group’s folder.

You don’t want to buy way too much or too little of an item. So before you go to the store to stock up on the items, figure how many containers of each ingredient you will need to buy. Make a list of each ingredient and how many containers, or bags, you will need to buy to have enough to complete the meal.

Now that you know how many containers of each ingredient you will need to buy, you can figure out how much the meal will cost you. Using the price list from earlier, figure how much the entire meal will cost you to make. Make sure to include a 8.0% sales tax.
_____________ 30 points
You are given $20.00 to make your side dish or dessert. If that is all you have, how much money do you have left over, or how much more money would you need to buy all the supplies? If you need more money you will have to convince your bank (Mrs. Merritt) to allow you to use more money. If you need to convince the bank to give you more money you need to write it down and put it in your group’s folder.
