Answer:
C. The number of packages of corn purchased.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a store sells four 1 1/8-pound ears of corn in a package for $3.59. The expression represents the cost of the corn for a number of packages.
Since the cost of each package of corn is $3.59 and represents the cost of 'p' packages of the corn. So 'p' represents the number of packages of corn purchased.
