How many loaves of raisin bread did the bakery make?

Which steps could be used to solve this story problem?

A.
Add 5 and 3. Multiply the sum by 5.

B.
Add 5 and 3. Multiply the sum by 2.

C.
Multiply 5 times 5. Multiply 3 times 2. Add the two products.

D.
Multiply 5 times 5. Multiply 3 times 2. Add the products and then add 4.

Answer 1

It would be D.

That is because we need to multiply to get how many loaves of rain bread they made total, and they made 5 per day for 5 days and 2 per day for five days, and then we need to add the bagels.
