B)5/20•17
C)100/17•20
D)100/20•17
E)17•5•20

Answer 1

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: A box of apples consists of 20 apples. Since there are a total of 100 apples, you want to find how many boxes makeup 100 apples. 100/20. Then, you would want to multiply that by the cost of each box (i.e. 5 boxes times 17). This is what is done in D when the order of operations is followed.
