An event planner is budgeting for a large corporate dinner. The table below shows the cost per serving for different main courses and the average serving size in ounces.
| Main Course | Cost per serving ($) | Serving Size (ounces) |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken | 8.00 | 6 |
| Beef | 12.50 | 8 |
| Vegetarian | 6.00 | 5 |
The equation gives the total cost, , in dollars, for providing servings of chicken, servings of beef, and servings of vegetarian options. If the event planner decides to order 200 servings of chicken and 150 servings of beef, and the total cost for these two items is $3,475.00, which of the following is the best interpretation of the value in this context?
The total cost for all beef servings
The cost per ounce of beef
The cost for one serving of beef
The total number of ounces of beef served
