Dominick Dudley · Answer 1

She is wrong because Dave's restaurant is more expensive

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to put a number into the formula to work out if its true

Let's say you change g to 10 guests

Diana's one would be 250+250=500

Dave's one would be 100+450=550

This means that she is wrong because it would be an extra 50 for Dave's place.
