**Problem Statement:**Amanda buys lunch for a group of people. She buys each person a $2.50 hamburger, $1.50 French fries, and drinks (d) which had no price listed. Then, she buys a cake for everyone to share that cost $9.00. If lunch was for 5 people, simplify the expression below representing the total cost.**Given Expression:**\[ 5(2.50 + 1.50 + d) + 9.00 \]**Solution:**To simplify the expression, let's follow these steps:1. **Combine the costs for each person:**\[ 2.50 + 1.50 + d \]\[ = 4.00 + d \]2. **Multiply by the total number of people (5):**\[ 5 \times (4.00 + d) \]\[ = 5 \times 4.00 + 5 \times d \]\[ = 20.00 + 5d \]3. **Add the cost of the cake:**\[ 20.00 + 5d + 9.00 \]\[ = 29.00 + 5d \]**Simplified Expression:**The simplified expression representing the total cost is:\[ 29.00 + 5d \]
