20+5=25*3=75 so it isnt that
16+3=19*5=95
1+4=5*15=60
20+4=24*4=96

Answer: The correct option is (B)
5(3+16).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct expression that is equivalent to the expression below :


E=15+80~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

The value of the above expression is


E=15+80=95.

We have


3(5+20)=3* 25=75\\eq 95,\\\\5(3+16)=5*19=95,\\\\15(1+4)=15* 5=75\\eq 95,\\\\4(4+20)=4*24=96\\eq95.

Therefore, the required equivalent expression is
5(3+16).

Option (B) is CORRECT.
