Answer: The equivalent expression to Sarah's expression is:

6.25(x + y) + 242.78

This expression takes into account the total number of hours worked by James (x) and Sarah (y) and adds it to the sum of their tips, which is $242.78. The expression multiplies the total number of hours worked by 6.25, which is their hourly wage.
