Answer:

p represents the amount of corn bough

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, man that's a lot of corn!

Second, each pack of corn costs 3.59, so p is simply the amount of packages of corn. For example, if I bough two packs of corn, each one is worth 3.59, or in the way they put it, 3.59(2)!

Hope this helps!
