Question

You are selling lemonade for $1.50, a bag of kettle corn for $3, and a hot dog for $2.50 at a fair. Write and simplify and expression for the amount of money you receive when p people buy one of each item.

Answer 1

You are selling the following items.
=> lemonade = $1.50
=> kettle corn = $3
=> hotdog = $2.50
=> p = number of people

Now, we need to write the expression of this given equation:
=> Amount = p(1.50 + 3 + 2.50) or Amount = p(1.50) + p(3) + p (2.50)
In where p is the number of people who will buy your food and will be multiplied to the amount of each food you’re selling to be able to get the total amount of money you will have.
