If Jake eats 17 meals a week in the dining hall and spends $ 30 per week at the other establishments , the gold plan will cost him $ 2205 +15*30 = $ 2655 for the semester. The silver plan will cost him $ 1764 + 15*30 = $2214 for the semester. The bronze plan will cost him $ 1386+ 15*30 = 1836 per semester. Apparently, the bronze plan will be most cost effective in such a situation. Jake will spend $ 1836 per semester if he does not buy dining dollars. If he buys dining dollars, he will save an amount of (15*30)810% = $ 45 and spend $1836- $45 = $ 1791 per semester on food.
