Answer:

$59

Step-by-step explanation:

You first need to find what 18, 27, and 36 can all fit into.

108 is divisible by each of these values:

108/18= 6  108/27=4  108/36=3

This will equate to how many packages of each item you will need:

6 pkgs of Plates, 4 pkgs of Cups, 3 pkgs of Forks

6*$2=12 4*$8=32 3*$5=15

Add these values to find total: 12+32+15=$59
