For this case we are going to assume that Nina wrote:
 3/4 (1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50).
 The expression is correct since we have:
 ticket sales were three-fourths as much as yesterday. That means
 3/4 (1440)
 food sales were down by $ 33.50, that means:
 295.25 + (-33.50)
 Therefore, today's sales were:
 3/4 (1440) + 295.25 + (-33.50).
 answer
 Nina's expression is correct
Nina is correct. Her expression represents the scenario because it takes ¾ of the ticket sales and subtracts $33.50 from the food sales.
