Question

A small box or chocolates contain c chocolates a large box of chocolates contains 15 more chocolates then a small box find an expression for the total number of chocolates in 3 small boxes and 1 large box you must simplify your answer? Could you tell me how to get the answer by breaking it down please

Answer 1

The number of chocolates in a small box is represented by the variable, c. We can write the following expression for 3 small boxes: 3c

Since a large box contains 15 more chocolates than a small box, we can write the following expression for the large box chocolates: c + 15

For the total of 3 small boxes and 1 large, we can add the two expressions:

3 small boxes + 1 large box = 3c + c + 15

Now combine like terms for a final expression of:

4c + 15
