I read an article some days ago. It is quite funny that is about three brands of burger. I have a following question.
article: 'They were very skeptical about the last burger, because the entire meal was about to cost them $777.'
Would you tell me what is mean 'them' and why used the word 'them' there?
Actually, I didn't understand that.. 'because the entire meal was about to cost them $777'
Of coures, that means the entire meal is priced at $777. I think.
