Question

Amanda buys lunch for a group of people. She buys each person a $4 sandwich, $1 French fries, and drinks (d) which had no price

listed. Then, she buys a cake and salad for everyone to share that cost $10 and $8, respectively. If lunch was for 4 people, simplify the
expression below representing the total cost.
4 (4+1+d)+10+8
O d+35
O 4d+38
O 4d +35
Od+27

Answer 1

4d + 38

Explanation:

These items were 1 per person:

$4 sandwich

$1 French fries

d

The cost of those items for 4 people is

4(4 + 1 + d)

Then these items were 1 of each for the entire group:

cake $10

salad $8

The cost of these two items is

10 + 8

The total cost was:

4(4 + 1 + d) + 10 + 8 =

We distribute the 4 and then combine like terms.

= 16 + 4 + 4d + 18

= 4d + 38
