Question

The snack shack charges $2.50 to delivery every order.

X represents the total food and drink cost. Y represents total paid by customer.

Answer 1

If X represents the total food and drink cost, and Y represents the total paid by the customer, the equation that relates these two variables when there is a delivery fee of $2.50 is:

Y = X + 2.50

This equation says that the total amount paid by the customer (Y) is equal to the total cost of the food and drinks (X) plus the delivery fee of $2.50.

For example, if the customer orders $10 worth of food and drinks, the total amount they would have to pay would be:

Y = 10 + 2.50 = 12.50

So the customer would pay $12.50 in total, which includes the $2.50 delivery fee.
