The price of a gallon of milk was $2.65. The price rose y dollars after the last hurricane. Then the price dropped $0.15 and later rose again by $0.05. Which expression represents the current price of milk

My answer:

Let p is the price of milk

Given the information:

• Stage 1: The price of a gallon milk was $2.65

<=> p = 2.65  

• Stage 2: rose y dollar

<=> p = 2.65   + y

• Stage 3:  price dropped $.15

<=> p =  2.65   + y  - 0.15

• Stage 4: rose again by $0.05

<=> p = 2.65  + y  - 0.15  + 0.05

<=> p =  y + 2.55
