Question

Part of a manufacturing plant packages tissues in boxes. Each box contains 250 tissues. Write an algebraic expression that can be used to find the total number of tissues packaged one day. Describe what the variable stands for in your expression

Answer 1

To calculate The number of tissues package each day, you would take the number of tissues a box holds multiplied by how many boxes the manufacturing plant packages each day. We don't know the number of boxes, so that is where we would use a variable. I would use b.

250b would be an algebraic expression representing this.
