Astore order flour that comes in 5-pounds bags and 25- pounds bags let x represent the number of 5 pounds bags the store orders the number of 25 pounds bags of flour the store orders is 40 more than half the number of 5- pounds bags which expression represent the amount of flour in bags the store order in pounds bags

For this case we have the following variable:
 x = represent the number of 5 pounds bags the store orders.
 We must write an expression that represents the following statement:
 "the number of 25 pounds bags of flour the store orders is 40 more than half the number of 5- pounds bags"
 (1/2) x + 40
 The ordered quantity is:
 f (x) = x + (1/2) x + 40
 Rewriting:
 f (x) = (3/2) x + 40
 
 An expression that represents the amount of flour in bags of the store order in pounds bags is:
 f (x) = (3/2) x + 40
