Sam is serving spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.  The pasta costs $1.00 per box, a jar of sauce is $2.00 and 1 pound of meatballs is $5.00.  He wants to stretch this meal into 8 servings.  How much does each serving cost?
The pasta is $1.00, the sauce is $2.00 and the meat is $5.00 for a total of 1+2+5 = $<<1+2+5=8.00>>8.00
He wants to stretch this meal into 8 servings so each serving will cost 8/8 = $<<8/8=1.00>>1.00
