D. 0.50(0.75x + x)
E. 0.50(1.75x)
F. 0.50(2.25x

Answer 1

First we define the varible to use:
x = represent the number of cookies
Cameron:
The amount of cookies he made was:
x
Deyonne:
We can rewrite the amount in different ways:
x + 0.25x
1.25x
Then, the total revenue is:
0.50 * (x + (x + 0.25x))
We rewrite:
0.50 * (x + 1.25x)
0.50 * (2.25x)
Answer:
The following expressions represent possible revenue from the sales:
F. 0.50 (2.25x
C. 0.50 (x + 1.25x)
A. 0.50 [x + (x + 0.25x)]
