The correct answer is D. g=p+0.6.

Looking at the values in the table, it can be observed that the amount of grape juice is always 0.6 liters more than the amount of peach juice. This can be represented by the equation g=p+0.6.
A deli charges the same price, $5.50, for all of its different sandwiches. If a company ordered n sandwiches for a luncheon, which equation could be used to find the total price, P, that the deli charged for the sandwiches?
The equation that could be used to find the total price, P, that the deli charged for the sandwiches is P = $5.50 * n.
