BE OUR GUEST

With a partner find out how much it would cost if the class decided to host a castle dinner party, "Lumiere style". You may use the castle dining room and servants for free, but the rest is up to you. Below are the parameters for a 25 guest, four course meal. Determine the number of each item you will need for a party of 25 and then calculate the cost to buy the ingredients. Use either Walmart or Target to cost out your banquet. (See links below) If you can not find the exact ingredient replace it with something similar.

Keep a written record of all your purchases, how many of each item you buy and how much they cost. Finally calculate the total cost for the banquet. Keep tidy notes as you will be asked to present your information later.

Make sure you have enough to feed each guess...you may have extras!
