HELP FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The student council is asking people to donate money for the new park outside the school. Everyone who makes the suggested donation amount will be given a bracelet.
If everyone donates the suggested amount, and b bracelets are given away, what is the algebraic expression that represents the total amount collected in donations?

The bracelets are not needed in this equation because they do not relate the the total amount of donations collected.

let's first introduce some variables:

let p= the number of people

let d= the suggested amount of of donation

equation:

number of people × suggested amount of donation

d×p
