Question

Caleb and Sergio stacked boxes on a shelf. Caleb lifted 14 boxes and Sergio lifted 12 boxes. The boxes that Sergio lifted each weighed 10 lb more than the boxes Caleb lifted. Let c represent the weight of each box Caleb lifted. Which expression represents the total number of pounds Sergio lifted?
A) 10(c−12)
B) c + 10
C) 12(c+10)
D) 120c

Answer 1

answer is 12 (c+10) consider weight of each box lifted by caleb is C lb then weight lifted by sergio for one box is (c +10) then it is 12( c+10) for 12 boxes

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 12(c + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of boxes Caleb lifted = 14 and weight of each box = c lb

No. of boxes Sergio lifted = 12 and weight of each box lifted by him is 10 lb more than that of Caleb.

So, weight of each box lifted by Sergio is (c + 10) lb

So, total number of pounds lifted by Sergio is : 12(c + 10) pounds

Hence, Option C is correct.
