1. 40($2.25)+25($1.00)

2. 40($1.00)+25($2.25)

5. Not enough information is given.

Answer:

1. 40($2.25)+25($1.00)

Explanation:

Given:

Delivery charges per week = $2.25

Delivery charges on Sunday = $1.00

Number of clients receiving daily = 40

Number of clients receiving only on Sundays =25

We need to find the expression which shows total amount Paul would collect in a week.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

total amount Paul would collect in a week would be equal to sum of Number of clients receiving daily multiplied by Delivery charges per week and Number of clients receiving only on Sundays multiplied by Delivery charges on Sunday.

framing in equation form we get;

total amount Paul would collect in a week =
`40(2.25)+25(1.00)`

Hence The expression which shows total amount Paul would collect in a week is
`40(2.25)+25(1.00)`.
