Kiran's family is having people over to watch a football game. They plan to serve sparkling water and pretzels. They're serving 12 ounces of sparkling water and three ounces of pretzels. Including Kiran's family, there will be 10 people at the gathering. A bottle of sparkling water contains 22 ounces and costs $1.50. A package of pretzels contains 16 ounces and costs $2.99.

Let:
- $ n $ represent the number of people watching the football game.
- $ s $ represent the ounces of sparkling water.
- $ p $ represent the ounces of pretzels.
- $ b $ represent Kiran's budget in dollars.

Which equation best represents Kiran's budget?

The equation that represents Kiran's budget can be obtained by multiplying the cost per ounce of sparkling water by the number of ounces needed, adding it to the cost per ounce of pencils multiplied by the number of ounces needed, and multiplying the resulting amount by the number of people attending the gathering. The equation is:

b = (s * 12 + p * 3) * n

where b represents the budget in dollars, s represents the cost per ounce of sparkling water, p represents the cost per ounce of pencils, and n represents the number of people attending the gathering.
