Question

or
Kira is hosting a movie marathon over the weekend. There will be p people at the party altogether. Kira estimates she'll need one bag of cheese popcorn and one pack of gummy worms per person. A bag of cheese popcorn costs $2.50, and a pack of gummy worms costs $1.50.
Pick all the expressions that represent how much money Kira will spend on cheese popcorn and gummy worms.

Answer 1

To calculate how much Kira will spend on cheese popcorn and gummy worms, we start with the number of people, \( p \).

1. **Cost of Cheese Popcorn**:
- Each person needs one bag of cheese popcorn, which costs $2.50.
- For \( p \) people, the total cost for cheese popcorn will be:
\[
2.50 \times p
\]

2. **Cost of Gummy Worms**:
- Each person also needs one pack of gummy worms, which costs $1.50.
- For \( p \) people, the total cost for gummy worms will be:
\[
1.50 \times p
\]

3. **Total Cost**:
- To find the total amount Kira spends on both snacks, we add the two costs together:
\[
(2.50 \times p) + (1.50 \times p)
\]
- This simplifies to:
\[
(2.50 + 1.50) \times p = 4.00 \times p
\]

So, the expressions that represent how much money Kira will spend on cheese popcorn and gummy worms are:

- \( 2.50p \) (cost of cheese popcorn)
- \( 1.50p \) (cost of gummy worms)
- \( 4.00p \) (total cost)

All three expressions represent relevant costs for Kira's movie marathon.
