The school expects them to spend $10 dollars.

Answer:

$6.

Let x represent cost of each meal. So the cost of 2 meals would be [tex]2x[/tex].

We have been given that  the amusement park each student is given $16 for food. This covers cost of 2 meals plus $4 for snacks. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]2x+4=16[/tex]

Let us solve for x.  

[tex]2x+4-4=16-4[/tex]

[tex]2x=12[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=6[/tex]

Therefore, the school expect student to spend $6 per meal.
