Given that 15 food booths were rented out for ‘d’ days at $100 plus $5 per day. On the food booths only, the company will earn 15 ($100+$5d) = $1500 + $75d Given that 20 game booths were rented out for ‘d’ days at $50 plus $7 per day. On the game booths only, the company will earn 20 ($50 + $7d) = $1000 + $140d

The total amount that the company is paid is therefore, $1500 + $75d + $1000 + $140d = $2500 + $215d
