Question

Paula bought p packages of 5 rolls of tape. Then, she bought 4 individual rolls of tape. Which expression shows how many total rolls of tape Paula bought? A. p + 5 + 4 B. p + 5 - 4 C. p × 5 + 4 D. p × 5 - 4

Answer 1

Answer:

C. p x 5 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

p represents how many of each package Paula bought, and each package contains 5 rolls of tape inside. this would be multiplication depending on how many packages she bought. for example, if she bought 2 packages of tape she would have 10 rolls of tape each.

then, you add 4 to the equation p x 5, because she bought an additional 4 rolls of tape. the correct answer is p x 5 + 4.
