Question
Answer:
For this case we are going to assume that Nina wrote:3/4 (1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50).
The expression is correct since we have:
ticket sales were three-fourths as much as yesterday. That means
3/4 (1440)
food sales were down by $ 33.50, that means:
295.25 + (-33.50)
Therefore, today's sales were:
3/4 (1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50).
