In the given expression, 55x + 80, the number 55 represents the monthly fee Leslie has to pay, and 80 represents the one-time fee to open a membership.

The letter x in the expression represents the number of months of the membership. Since Leslie has to pay the monthly fee for each month she is a member, multiplying 55 by x accounts for the total monthly fee over x months.
