Lets consider Karen's meal as 6
Mary's meal will be then 5 (5/6 of Karen's)
John's meal 2/3(6)=4 (karen's was 50% more than John) 150 % of X =6 so X would be 2/3*6
Now mary actually pain 2 more than John
but in our case the difference is 1
So lets multiply everything by 2
karen's meal becomes 12
Mary's become 10
john's become 8
total 12+10+8=30$ (option B)
