1. **State the problem:** We need to find an expression that represents the total profit from selling $h$ hot dogs, $p$ pretzels, and $d$ drinks. 2. **Identify the profit per item:** - Profit per hot dog = $0.43$ - Profit per pretzel = $0.65$ - Profit per drink = $1.31$ 3. **Formulate the total profit:** The total profit is the sum of the profit from each item multiplied by the number sold. 4. **Write the expression:** $$\text{Total profit} = 0.43h + 0.65p + 1.31d$$ 5. **Explanation:** We multiply the number of each item sold by its profit and add all these amounts to get the total profit. 6. **Check other options:** - $2.39(h + p + d)$ incorrectly assumes a combined profit rate. - $(0.43h)(0.65p)(1.31d)$ incorrectly multiplies profits. - $(0.43 + h)(0.65 + p)(1.31 + d)$ incorrectly adds profits and quantities. **Final answer:** $$0.43h + 0.65p + 1.31d$$
