Answer:

[tex]Expression = 87.6S[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Cost\ Price = S[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = Cost\ Price +20\% * Cost\ Price[/tex]

Required

Match [tex]73(S + 0.2S)[/tex] with the amount it represents

[tex]Selling\ Price = Cost\ Price +20\% * Cost\ Price[/tex]

Substitute S for Cost Price

[tex]Selling\ Price = S +20\% * S[/tex]

Express 20% as decimal

[tex]Selling\ Price = S +0.20 * S[/tex]

[tex]Selling\ Price = S +0.20S[/tex]

The above represents the selling price of 1 sandwich.

So: [tex]73(S + 0.2S)[/tex] represents the amount for 73 sandwiches

Solving [tex]73(S + 0.2S)[/tex] further

[tex]Expression = 73(S + 0.2S)[/tex]

Evaluate the bracket

[tex]Expression = 73(1.2S)[/tex]

Remove bracket

[tex]Expression = 73*1.2S[/tex]

[tex]Expression = 87.6S[/tex]
