Final answer:
The algebraic expression to calculate Levi's total cost for attending the Strawberry Festival, including food and drinks, is C = 10 + 4d + 5p + 7h. The variables d, p, and h stand for the number of drinks, popcorn, and hot dogs, respectively. The correct option is c.
Step-by-step explanation:
Levi wants to go to the Strawberry Festival and is trying to calculate the total cost for attendance including food and drinks. To create an algebraic expression to represent the total cost, we would assign variables to the number of drinks, popcorn, and hot dogs Levi intends to purchase.
Let d represent the number of drinks, p popcorn, and h hot dogs. With this notation, the total cost C can be represented by the algebraic expression:
C = 10 + 4d + 5p + 7h.
The admission cost is a fixed value of $10, while the variable costs are determined by multiplying the quantity of each item (drinks d, popcorn p, and hot dogs h) by their respective prices. The correct option is c.
