Geoff hesitated as he read the fast food menu, unsure whether he should supersize his order of delicious golden French fries

Doing so would increase his cost from $0.99 to $1.59 and just might provide him the nutrition he needed to make it through the second half of his day at the office. Of course, if he finished his hamburger and the usual amount of fries, he would simply throw the extra ones away. However, if he failed to supersize his order, he would have to take a candy bar break mid-afternoon and they weren't exactly giving them away in the break room vending machines. He would likely need two candy bars, which sold for $0.95 each. What is Geoff's target service level? A) 0.29 B) 0.61 C) 0.76 D) 0.87
