Final answer:

The expression for the amount of money Riley and Rhoda will spend if they buy b bags of dog food is 7b + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression for the amount of money Riley and Rhoda will spend if they buy b bags of dog food is 7b + 5.

Here's why:

  1. Each bag of dog food costs $7, so if they buy b bags, the cost of the dog food will be 7b.
  2. The dog collar costs $5, so the total amount they will spend is 7b + 5.
