Answer 1

For this case we have the following variable:
x = represent the number of 5 pounds bags the store orders.
We must write an expression that represents the following statement:
"the number of 25 pounds bags of flour the store orders is 40 more than half the number of 5- pounds bags"
(1/2) x + 40
The ordered quantity is:
f (x) = x + (1/2) x + 40
Rewriting:
f (x) = (3/2) x + 40
Answer:
An expression that represents the amount of flour in bags of the store order in pounds bags is:
f (x) = (3/2) x + 40
