Carlota bought 5 slices of pizza and h hamburgers. The cost of a slice of pizza is $p and a hamburger is $3 more than a slice of pizza. What does the expression (p + 3) represent?

Answer 1

$\text{The expression is representing the cost of a hamburger}\\\\\text{We know that from the question that the cost of a pizza slice}\\\text{is represented as "p", and the hamburger costs 3 more dollars}\\\text{than a pizza slice.}\\\\\text{So you're adding 3 dollars to the cost of the pizza to get the cost of a}\\ \text{hamburger}\\\\\text{Therefore, (p+3) = cost of hamburger}$
