Question

select the correct answer.

ben has $10 to spend on dinner. he can have a pizza delivered, drive to a burger place, or go to the grocery store to get ingredients for a fresh salad. in the end, he goes with the salad. if each meal would have cost him the same amount, what is ben’s incentive for choosing salad?

a. to eat a healthier meal

b. to help the local economy

c. to save gas

d. to save on his telephone bill

Explanation:

Ben has three options with the same cost. Pizza and burgers are typically less healthy than a fresh salad. Option B is incorrect as choosing salad doesn't directly help the local economy more than the other options. Option C: Driving to get salad or to the burger place would both use gas, and delivery has no gas cost for him, so saving gas isn't the incentive. Option D: Salad choice has nothing to do with telephone bills. So the incentive is to eat a healthier meal.

Answer:

A. to eat a healthier meal
