Tailgate Mission
You and your closest 9 friends decide to tailgate before attending the EGCC Gator Baseball game. You each give $5.00 for food and beverages. You are in charge of shopping at your local supermarket. Based on your budget, decide what are your best options are for purchasing hamburgers and/or hot dogs, beverages, condiments, and snacks. You need to justify (unit analysis) why you made the decisions you did. Space is given below each item to show the unit analysis.
You must complete the unit price for the entire worksheet regardless of whether or not you use that item in your tailgate. Must show calculations/formula for credit. Any answer given with no calculations shown will result in no credit for that answer.
This is an exercise that tests your skills in conversions, planning, and general math skills.
You MUST spend no less than $45 and no more than $50 with a mixed variety of items in different categories. You can look up conversions on the internet they are readily available
Assumptions:
· All paper products, utensils, and ice are provided by someone else in the group.
· You must stay within budget and cannot get money from any other source.
· All hamburgers must weigh approximately 1/4 of a pound precooked.
· HINT: Use unit conversions to compare what item is a “better deal”.
Beverages
Coke Products (Coke, diet Coke, Barq’s, Sprite, Fanta, Nestea, Minute Maid)
Ex.. I will do the first one for you
1 liter = 33.814 oz
So the 2 liter bottle contains 67.628 oz
Since you get 2 for $3.00 each bottle is $1.50
If you take $1.5 / 67.628 oz that equals $.0222 per oz.. always round to the nearest cent (2 decimal places) you get $.02 per oz or 2 cents per oz

2l bottle- $1.50/67.628 oz= $.02/oz
Bottle Water
I will do the first water conversion for you too…
Since there are 8 bottles at 16.9 oz per bottle, the entire 8 pack case is 135.2 oz. The cost of the case is $3.69 so you divide that by 135.2 you get $.02729.. round to 2 decimal places you get $.03 per oz or 3 cents per oz
