Dana was picking strawberries to sell and placing them in baskets on a table. The number of strawberries in the basket is 4 more than the number of baskets on a table. If b represents the number of baskets on each table, which expression can be used to represent the number of strawberries on 5 tables?
5b4
5(b + 4)
5b(b + 4)
5b + 4
+118608 I don't think that is quite right snip3s
Just imagine that there are 3 baskets on each table
then there would be 3+4=7 strawberries in each basket.
On one table there would be 3(3+4) strawberries (that is 3 baskets with 7 strawberries in each)
On 5 tables there would be 5*3(3+4) strawberries.
NOW just replace the 3baskets with b baskets
5*b(b+4) = 5b(b+4) strawberries.
+146 5b+4 because there are 4 MORE than the amount in the baskets so there are 5 tables but we dont know the total amount of strawberries so the answer would be 5b+4
