About this exercise
Ravi Anand asked for catering for 48 guests. Write a plain-text reply from Maya under 100 words. Show two lines of math, one for 48 guests and one for 50 guests, then say how much 50 guests saves and that the choice is his. No made-up discounts. Sign off Maya.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Quoting only 48. The AI gives one total and misses the cheaper tier. Try: Add: "Also show the 50-guest total and the saving."
- Forgetting delivery. The AI leaves out the $45 fee for 48 guests. Try: Add: "Delivery is $45 under 50 guests, free at 50 or more."
- Pushing or inventing. The AI offers a discount or says 'book now'. Try: Add: "The choice is his; no discounts or pressure."
- Long reply. The AI writes a menu pitch. Try: Add: "Plain text, under 100 words."
