Answer:

The amount of money Monica earns if each cheesecake was cut into 12 slices = $263.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money Monica earns by selling cheesecake is represented by the following variable expression:

[tex]2.9(7s+7)[/tex]

where [tex]s[/tex] represents the number of slices of cheesecake.

To find the money Monica would earn if each cheesecake was cut into 12 slices.

Solution:

In order to find the total amount earned by Monica if the number of slices the cheesecake is cut into is 12, we will plugin 12 for variable [tex]s[/tex] in the given expression.

The expression :

[tex]2.9(7s+7)[/tex]

Plugging in [tex]s=12[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2.9(7(12)+7)[/tex]

Simplifying and evaluating.

⇒ [tex]2.9(84+7)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]2.9(91)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]263.9[/tex]

Thus, she earns = $263.9
