How much does the chicken salad cost? ** Multiply the number of people who want chicken salad by the cost per person, so the cost is 10 x $6.50 = $<<10*6.5=65>>65.
How much does the pasta salad cost? ** Multiply the amount of people who want pasta salad by the cost per person, so the cost is 6 x $6.00 = $<<6*6=36>>36.
How much does the chicken and pasta salad cost? ** The total cost of chicken salad and pasta salad is $65 + $36 = $<<65+36=101>>101.
