Answer:

The expression which shows the total rent collected is S + L

The total rent collected is 85 of different size

Explanation:

Let us list the given information

→ On one day: 28 small and 12 large merchant spaces were rented

→ Another day: 30 small and 15 large spaces were rented

Let S represents the small spaces and L represents the large spaces

The total rent collected = S + L

∵ S in the two days = 28 + 30

S = 58

∵ L in the two days = 12 + 15

L = 27

Substitute The values of S and L in the expression of the total above

∴ The total rent collected = 58 small spaces + 27 large spaces

The total rent collected = 85 of different size

The expression which shows the total rent collected is S + L

The total rent collected is 85 of different size
