Accepted Solution
A:
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). answer Nina's expression is correct
