12[3(3.50)+3(1.35)]
1 half times open bracket 3 times 3 point 5 0 plus 3 times 1 point 3 5 close bracket

(3.50)(3)÷12+1.35
3 point 5 0 times 3 divided by 1 half plus 1 point 3 5

12(3.50)+3(1.35)
1 half times 3 point 5 0 plus 3 times 1 point 3 5

3[12(3.50)+1.35]

Answer 1

To determine the new cost for 3 orders of popcorn (which are now half price) and 3 drinks, we can set up the expression as follows:

1. The original price of one order of popcorn is $3.50, so at half price it becomes $3.50 / 2 = $1.75.
2. The price of one drink is $1.35.
3. The total cost for 3 orders of popcorn at half price is 3 * $1.75.
4. The total cost for 3 drinks is 3 * $1.35.

Putting this all together, the expression for the total cost becomes:

Total cost = 3 * (1/2 * 3.50) + 3 * 1.35

This matches the second choice:
1 half times open bracket 3 times 3 point 5 0 plus 3 times 1 point 3 5 close bracket.

So, the correct response is:
**1 half times open bracket 3 times 3.50 plus 3 times 1.35 close bracket**.
