You are selling lemonade for $1.50 a bag of kettle corn for $3 and a hotdog for $2.50 at the fair right and simplify and expression for the amount of money receive when p people buy one of each item

Amount of money received when p people buy one of each item is 7 p.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the cost of 1 lemonade = $1.5

The cost of 1 kettle of corn = $3

The cost of 1 hot dog = $2.5

So, if 1 person buys one of each item:

Then the total cost = Cost of { 1 lemonade + 1 kettle of corn + 1 hot dog)

= $1.5 + $3 + $2.5 = $7

So, 1 person spend $7 if one item of each type is purchased.

So, the total amount spent by p people buying each item of same type

= p x (amount spent by 1 person)

= p x ($ 7) = 7 p

Hence, amount of money received when p people buy one of each item is 7 p.
