We spent $100-150 per day on food and had an average of two meals, so $50-75 per meal.
We have to include tax and tip, so $50 can't be the low end. Eliminate D and E.
Since A, B, and C all have different values for the bottom of the range, we can just calculate that and ignore the top end.
Let's just Plug In The Answers (PITA) at this point.
Let's try $40: Meal is $40+20% for tax and tip. 20% of $40 is $8. $40+8=$48, but we are allowed to spend $50, so we can spend more.
Answer choice C.
