Based on the amount budgeted and the costs of meals and the hotel, if the family gave up two nights, they could afford 4 meals.
The family can afford 8 nights at the hotel if they gave up meals. This means that the cost of a night at the hotel is:
= Total cost / Nights at hotel
= 800 / 8
= $100 per night
If the family gave up two nights, they would have $200 to spend on meals which means they will afford:
= 200 / 40 per meal
= 5 meals
In conclusion, the family would afford 5 meals.
