Hot dogs 4.4 pounds
Macaroni salad 2.5 pounds

Party plans are in the works. Samyuth, Whitney, Daniel, and Sidney each bought 2 items from the above list for the party. Not everything on the list was purchased. No two people bought the same thing.
Samyuth bought sliced cheese and 1 of the sliced meats. The sliced meat was the meat that was the greatest amount of all the sliced meats on the list.
Daniel bought meat, but none of it was sliced. The two meats he bought were the same shape.
Whitney bought sliced meat, but it was different from the meat that Samyuth bought.
Sidney bought two salads. The potato salad she bought was 1 and a half pounds more than the other salad she bought.
What were the two items each person bought?
How much did they purchase of each item?
And what was the total weight of the items for each person?
