PLS HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLEAST! The fire department is having a BBQ fundraiser. The hot dogs costs $1.50 each and cans of
soda cost $0.75 each. The department uses the algebraic expression 1.50x +0.75y to calculate
customers' total expenses.

a. What does the x variable represent?

b. What does the y variable represent?

c. A family buys 7 hot dogs and 4 sodas. What are their total expenses?

a. The variable X represents the amount of hot dogs

b. the variable Y represents the amount of sodas

c. Their total expense would be $13.50

If you multiply $1.50 by 7 you would get $10.50, then you would multiply $0.75 by 4 and get $3.00.

then you would add 10.50 and 3.00 to get $13.50

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
