Mike owns a chocolate shop, and is trying to create a new box of chocolate to sell. He is thinking about what to put in it, and how much he will need to charge for it. The candies he is thinking about including are: truffles, T, which cost $1.50 each; pecan chocolates, P, which cost $1.00 each; and solid milk chocolate pieces, M, which cost $0.75 each. He creates an expression to model this, as follows.
1.5T+P+0.75M
