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

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: \[ 2.50 \times p \]
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: \[ 1.50 \times p \]
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.
