A family of 12 went to a local Italian restaurant for dinner. Every family member ordered a drink and meal, 3 ordered an appetizer, and 6 people ordered cake for dessert.

A. Write an expression that can be used to figure out the cost of the bill. Include the definitions for the variables used.

Let:
- \(d\) = cost of one drink
- \(m\) = cost of one meal
- \(a\) = cost of one appetizer
- \(c\) = cost of one cake

The total cost of the bill can be expressed as:
\[ \text{Total cost} = 12(d + m) + 3a + 6c \]

The correct expression for the given condition will be;
⇒ T = 12x + 3y + 6z
Where, x is cost of drink and meal, y is cost of appetizer , z is cost of **cake **and T is total cost.
What is an expression?
**Mathematical **expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using **operations **like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Given that;
A family of 12 went to the local Italian restaurant for dinner. Every family member **ordered **a drink and meal, 3 ordered an appetizer, and 6 people ordered cake for dessert.
Now,
Let x is cost of **drink **and meal, y is cost of appetizer, z is cost of cake and T is total cost.
So, We can formulate;
⇒ T = 12x + 3y + 6z
Thus, The correct expression for the given condition will be;
⇒ T = 12x + 3y + 6z
Where, x is cost of drink and meal, y is cost of appetizer , z is cost of **cake **and T is total cost.

The total cost of the bill for the family can be expressed as 12 times the sum of the cost of drinks and meals, plus the cost of appetizers and cakes. The expression is 12 ( d + m ) + 3 a + 6 c where d , m , a , and c represent the costs of drinks, meals, appetizers, and cakes respectively. This captures all the ordered items for the entire family of 12.
