I run a burger joint called "What time is it? It's burger time!" One of our deals allows customers to buy in bulk - each burger costs $8.99 and you can add endless fries for $20.
Write an equation, using b for burgers and m for total money, that represents any customer's order if they use this deal.
What is 8.99b + 20 = m

My competitor, "Burgers Galore" thinks he's a clever guy. He runs his own deal that includes a soft drink (I don't sell soft drinks because they are basically poison).
At Burgers Galore you can buy a burger for $7.25 with $1 charge for each topping. Fries and a drink come included for an additional $7.
How much does a meal cost at Burgers Galore? Write an equation using x to represent the number of toppings, and y to represent the total cost.
What is $7.25 + x + $7
or
What is x + $14.25

Socks go on feet. Feet go in shoes. Shoes help me run. Each time I go for a run, I hope to add 3% to my total distance.
If I run 1 mile on day one, how far will I run on day 4?

My competitor's sister, Martha, thought she could team up with her brother and run me out of town. (WHAAAT!? I don't think so!) She opens a gourmet hot dog joint called "Roasting Doggies" across the street.
One day I wanted to try a roasted doggie myself, so I went and bought d amount of Doggies (I am embarrassed to say how many I ordered!) Each doggie cost $5, but I added relish for a dollar on each. To wash it all down, I ordered some unsweetened Iced Tea for $3.99.
Write an equation that shows my total order - use d for number of Doggies and $ for total amount.
What is d(5+1) +3.99 = $

All this running is making me thirsty. Each day I need to drink more water because of my increased exercise. Though I run 3% further each day, I find that I need to drink 5% more each day.
If I drink 1.5 liters on day one, how many liters do I drink on day 5?
What is 1.82326 Liters on day five.

To counter all my competition, I had to add to my menu. I added a special burger with bacon and bleu cheese called the "Tangy Sizzlin' Oinker"
IT WAS A HIT! So I ran a deal on "the oinker" and sold them for $6.00 each with a combo of mineral water for $2.00 and fries for $4.50.
A bus of people came in and I am not sure how many people ordered. Write an equation that would represent the entire bus's order. Use p for total people and m for total money.

All this training has people asking! They want my training program. There was so much interest that I decided to sell it to them and make some money.
At the first year made $65,000. Then 10% more the second year. Then 34% more the third year! But then everyone had my program and didn't buy it anymore, so my sales went down by 80% the fourth year.
How much did I make the fourth year?
What is $19,162 of sales in the fourth year.

Gordon Ramsey caught wind of the competition (and of the oinker) and wanted to host a cooking showdown. I decided I had to pull out all tricks and make something extra special. So, I created the "Doggie moo-moo oinkin' delight" - a burger topped with hotdog and bacon!
This burger is stackable. You can add as many patties as you want, as many doggies, and as many slices of bacon - all at a cost. The basic delight costs $9.75 and for each additional Pattie (p), it is $1.50, for each doggie (d) is is $2.00, and for each slice of bacon (b) $0.75.
Write an equation that represents the total cost of one customized "doggie moo-moo oinkin' delight"
