Answer:

The expression is
\$(27n+17)

Explanation:

The question is Simplify the expression and identify the units

we have


25n+0.08(25n)+17

Find the product between 0.08 and 25n


0.08(25n)=2

substitute


25n+2n+17

Groups terms that contain the same variable


(25n+2n)+17

Combine like terms


27n+17

The expression above represent the total cost

therefore

the unit is in dollars ($)
