They also want to buy lunch and souvenir cups. The chicken platter costs $8.50 each and the burger
platter costs $9.50 each. The souvenir cups each cost $10.00, which includes unlimited refills. Mr.

souvenir cup. Let x represent the number of chicken platters, y represent the number of burger
platters, and z represent the number of souvenir cups. Which of the following algebraic expressions
can be used to describe the amount of money the Jones family will spend, before sales tax, based on
the number of each meal and souvenir cups they purchase?
