Answer 1

$13•58=754. $754+$240=$994
ANSWER: 13p+240;$994

Answer 2

Option B.

Explanation:

Let the people who attended the banquet are p.

Since cost of food is $13 per person, so cost of p persons = $13p

The cost of renting a function room is $240

So the expression which represents the total cost C for p people will be

C = 13p + 240

Now for p = 58 persons we have to evaluate the expression.

C = 13×58 + 240

= 754 + 240

= $994

Therefore, option B. is the answer.
