The correct expression to model the cost of manufacturing b basketballs in 1 day is:

O $5.25b-$1,400.00

The fixed costs of manufacturing the basketballs are $1,400.00 per day, and the variable costs are $5.25 per basketball. To find the total cost of manufacturing b basketballs in 1 day, you need to add the fixed costs and the variable costs for each basketball.

The variable costs for b basketballs would be $5.25 * b. To find the total cost, you need to subtract the fixed costs of $1,400.00 from this amount. This can be represented by the expression $5.25b - $1,400.00.

The other expressions do not correctly represent the cost of manufacturing b basketballs in 1 day because they do not correctly account for both the fixed costs and the variable costs.
