Questions & Answers about Est-ce qu'il y a un supplément avec cette formule ?

Why is formule translated as "package plan"?
In French, une formule often refers to a set menu in a restaurant or a specific package or plan for a service (like a hotel stay or a phone contract). It is a very common word in hospitality and doesn't usually mean a scientific "formula".
Does supplément always mean an "extra charge"?
In the context of restaurants, hotels, or services, yes. If you want to swap a side dish or add something not included in the standard formule, you will often have to pay un supplément.
How would I use the grammar from this lesson to ask "Which one?" if the clerk mentions they have multiple plans?
Because the noun formule is feminine, you would use the feminine singular form of the interrogative pronoun: Laquelle ? (Which one?). If you wanted to ask about multiple plans ("Which ones?"), you would use Lesquelles ?.
Could I use inversion instead of Est-ce que to ask this question?
Yes! You can invert il y a to become y a-t-il. The sentence would then be: Y a-t-il un supplément avec cette formule ? This sounds a bit more formal than using Est-ce que.
