The image shows an expense report for meal reimbursements with a travel meal allowance policy, including the following rules:

- **Employee Only Meals:**
  - Breakfast: $12 per person
  - Lunch: $15 per person
  - Dinner: $28 per person
- **Meals with Clients:**
  - Breakfast: $20 per person
  - Lunch: $30 per person
  - Dinner: $56 per person
- Total meal expenses must not exceed the allowed amounts based on the number of people.

The table provides details of three meals (Employee Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner) for 3 people, with the costs:

- **Employee Breakfast:** $30.68
- **Employee Lunch:** $42.27
- **Employee Dinner:** $76.09
- **Total Cost:** $149.04

### Let's analyze if the total meal reimbursement is within the allowed limits:

1. **Employee Breakfast:**
   - Allowed: 3 people × $12 = $36
   - Claimed: $30.68
   - **Under the limit** (Approved)

2. **Employee Lunch:**
   - Allowed: 3 people × $15 = $45
   - Claimed: $42.27
   - **Under the limit** (Approved)

3. **Employee Dinner:**
   - Allowed: 3 people × $28 = $84
   - Claimed: $76.09
   - **Under the limit** (Approved)

### Total allowed: 
- $36 + $45 + $84 = $165
- Total claimed: $149.04 (which is below the allowed limit).

### Conclusion:
- The reimbursement request **should be approved**, as all expenses are within the allowable limits.
