Edna plans to treat her boyfriend Curt to dinner for his birthday. The costs of their date options are listed next to each possible choice. Edna plans to allow Curt to choose whether they will eat Mexican food ($25), Chinese food ($15), or Italian food ($30). Next, they will go bowling ($20), go to the movies ($30) or go to a museum ($10). Edna also is deciding between a new wallet ($12) and a cell phone case ($20) as possible gift options for Curt. What is the maximum cost of this date?

Edna has 3 phases of the date:

1. Dinner
2. Event after dinner
3. Gift Option

In order to calculate the maximum cost of the date, we take the maximum cost option of all 3 date phases:

1. Dinner - Max price is Italian food at $30
2. Event after dinner - Max price is movies at $30
3. Gift Option - Max price option is the cell phone cast at $20

Add all those up, we get: $30 + $30 + $20 = $80
