4690+311d dollars based on how many days the fair lasted

Explanation:

Let's break this up into food booths and game booths:

Food booths make 125 dollars plus 4 per day or:

125+4d

There are a total of 17 food booths, so multiplying we get:

17(125+4d)

2125+68d total dollars made on food booths

Game booths make 95 dollars plus 9 per day or:

95+9d

There are a total of 27 game booths, so multiplying we get:

27(95+9d)

2565+243d total dollars made on food booths

So combining these two expressions we get:

2125+68d+2565+243d=4690+311d dollars
