Question

A company rents out 15 food booths and 20 game booths at the county fair. The fee for a food booth is $100 plus $5 per day. The fee for a game booth is $50 plus $7 per day. The fair lasts for d days, and all the booths are rented for the entire time. Write and simplify an expression for an amount in dollars that the company is paid.

Answer 1

So there are 15 food booths and 20 game booths. Food booths cost 100 dollars. Game booths cost 50.

100 * 15 = 1500

50 * 20 = 1000

And 5 dollars extra for a day, and 7 dollars extra for a day. Multiply by how many days (d).

7 * d = 7d.

5 * d = 5d.

This means that the expression is:

1500 + 5d + 50 + 7d.

1550 + 12d.
