The benefit of going out to dinner with a friend is $80 ($30 for the restaurant meal and $50 for the time spent with the friend). The cost of going out to dinner with a friend is $75 ($50 for the meal, $10 for the tip, and $15 for the Uber ride). Therefore, the benefit is greater than the cost, so you should go out to dinner with your friend.
