Answer: ($0.5*2) + ($1.25*3) + ($0.75*3) = $7
Step-by-step explanation: Since Laurie orders 2 fruit, 3 drinks, and 3 popcorn, we multiply the cost of each item by the number of items purchased.
For example, one fruit costs $.50. Since Laurie orders 2 fruits, we multiply .50 by 2, to get $1.
For future reference, the equation representing this problem would be
<em>.50f+.75p+1.25d=c(total cost).</em>
