Answer:

$1x + $3y = c

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an expression you need to pick a variable to represent the cups of orange juice and lemonade.

x = cups of lemonade sold

y = cups of orange juice sold

Now you have the variables to represent the amount of cups sold, so now you need a variable to represent the total cost.

c = amount of money earned from selling drinks

Now you have all the variables, so you need to write how much is cost for that drink.

$1 for one cup of lemonade so $1x

$3 for one cup of orange juice so $3x

Now put the expression together:

$1x + $3y = c

The expression that represents the amount of money that Alice selling drinks​ is $ (a+ 3b)

What are Algebraic expressions?

An expression obtained by a finite number of the fundamental operations of algebra upon symbols representing numbers.

How to find the expression that represents the amount of money that Alice selling drinks​ ?

According to the problem,

  • Alice sells cups of lemonade for $1 each.
  • She also sells cups of orange juice for $3 each.

Let the number of cups of lemonade sold are a and the cups of orange juice sold are b.

Cost of 1 cup of lemonade is $ 1

∴Cost of a cups of lemonade = $ a

Similarly we can say,

Cost of 1 cup of orange juice is $ 3

∴ Cost of b cups of orange juice is $ 3b

So the total cost is represented by the expression : $(a + 3b)
