Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a menu with prices for Lunch and Dinner items. The note at the bottom says:
> “Lunch portions are smaller than dinner portions, but they’re sold as good.”
That means we just use the prices listed — no need to adjust them. We’ll add up the cost of each item in the order.

Order:
1.
Lunch: Onion Soup → $2.25
2.
Dinner: Caesar Salad → $4.75
3.
Lunch: Hamburger → $2.75
4.
Dinner: Pasta of the Day → $7.95
5.
Lunch: Apple Cobbler → $1.25
6.
Dinner: Ice Cream → $2.00

Now let’s add them one by one:
Start with $0.
Add $2.25 → total = $2.25
Add $4.75 → $2.25 + $4.75 = $7.00
Add $2.75 → $7.00 + $2.75 = $9.75
Add $7.95 → $9.75 + $7.95 = $17.70
Add $1.25 → $17.70 + $1.25 = $18.95
Add $2.00 → $18.95 + $2.00 = $20.95

Double-checking the addition:
Group lunch items:
Onion Soup ($2.25) + Hamburger ($2.75) + Apple Cobbler ($1.25)
= $2.25 + $2.75 = $5.00; $5.00 + $1.25 = $6.25
Group dinner items:
Caesar Salad ($4.75) + Pasta of the Day ($7.95) + Ice Cream ($2.00)
= $4.75 + $7.95 = $12.70; $12.70 + $2.00 = $14.70
Total: $6.25 (lunch) + $14.70 (dinner) = $20.95
