It's Party Time
By: Abigail McGuire
What kind of food?
There were two food place choices, Pizza Palace and Burger Bonanza. Pizza Palace offers you 5 types of all you can eat pizza, 3 styles of all you can eat pasta, bread sticks, salad, and 1 drink per person. Burger Bonanza offers each person a burger of their choice, their choice of fries (sweet potato or not), chips, or potato salad, a fresh pickle spear, their choice of drinks. Burger Bonanza is $10 per person and a $20 catering fee, and Pizza Palace is $9.25 per person with a $61.25 set up fee.
Burger Bonanza
Burger Bonanza is a better buy when you have <50 people coming to the party.
Pizza Palace
Pizza Palace is the better buy when you have >51 people coming to the party.
Which is the Better Buy?
Pizza Palace. Pizza Palace would be the better buy because more than 50 people will come to a party and Pizza Palace is cheaper when you have 51+ people coming.

Which Bounce House?
Hoppin' Around offers you a 100 sq. foot bounce house or a 100 foot long obstacle course bounce house for $75 an hour. Jumpin' Jacks offers you a 100 sq. foot bounce house or a 100 foot long obstacle course for up to 8 hours for
Which is the Better Buy?
Hoppin' Around. I said Hoppin' Around because the party will probably only last around 2-3 hours and Hoppin' Around is the better buy with anything less than 4 hours.

Proposed Plan
For my plan I suggested that we do Pizza Palace for the food and Hoppin’ Around for the activity/bounce house. I said Pizza Palace because it has a better buy for the amount of people that will be coming, I said more than 50 people and Pizza Palace is the better buy for anything 51+. I chose Hoppin’ Around for the activity/bounce house because the party would only last around 2-3 hours and people wouldn’t be on it that much towards the end so we wouldn’t need it that long and Hoppin’ Around is the better buy if you would want something from 2-3 hours in which that is how long the party will be.
