Too simple. The description and the expressions speak for themselves.
x, the price of one hamburger
y, the price of one serving of french fries

x%2By, the COST for one hamburger and one serving of french fries

Are 3%28x%2By%29 and 3x%2B3y equivalent?
You know now what is x, what is x+y, and should know what each of 3x and 3y means here.
