PLS HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLEAST!

The fire department is having a BBQ fundraiser. The hot dogs costs $1.50 each and cans of
soda cost $0.75 each. The department uses the algebraic expression 1.50x +0.75y to calculate
customers' total expenses.

a. What does the x variable represent?

b. What does the y variable represent?

c. A family buys 7 hot dogs and 4 sodas. What are their total expenses?

Answer 1

a. The variable X represents the amount of hot dogs

b. the variable Y represents the amount of sodas

c. Their total expense would be $13.50

If you multiply $1.50 by 7 you would get $10.50, then you would multiply $0.75 by 4 and get $3.00.

then you would add 10.50 and 3.00 to get $13.50
