Well, I don't want to be the "delivery clown," but I think the expression you're looking for is 1. 40($2.25) + 25($1.00). This expression represents the total amount collected for both daily plus Sunday delivery and Sunday delivery only.

To calculate how much Paul would collect in a week, we need to multiply the number of clients by the corresponding charges for each type of delivery and add them together.

In this case, Paul has 40 clients receiving daily plus Sunday delivery, and the charge for that is $2.25 per week. He also has 25 clients receiving Sunday delivery only, with a charge of $1.00 per week.

So the expression that represents how much Paul would collect in a week is:

40($2.25) + 25($1.00)

This simplifies to:

90 + 25 = 115

Therefore, the correct expression is:

1. 40($2.25) + 25($1.00)

Your problem states that he has 40 clients who pay $2.25 per week for daily plus Sunday.

He has 25 clients who pay $1.00 a week for Sunday only delivery.
