Answer: $3.30

Explanation:
You set up a proportion where

9.25 X
------ = -----
2.8 1

Then you cross multiply and see that...
2.8X = 9.25
Then X = 9.25 / 2.8 = 3.30

Since we must save 50 meals for volunteers, the real amount we are giving away is 700 meals in 12 hours.

700/12 = 58.3333...

10*58.333.. = 583.333....

Since we can't serve 1/3 of a person, we take 583. Hope this helps!
