How much does Chris spend total?What equation could you write to help you solve this problem?A: (4+4) × (2+5)=?B: (4×4) + (2×5)=?C: (4×4) ÷ (2+5)=?D: (4÷4) + (2÷5)=?

Answer 1

1) Gathering the data

Chris buys

4 bottles of sprinkles = 4 x 4

2 boxes of candles cost $5 each = 2 x 5

2) Then we can write that

(4x4) + (2x5)

16 +10

26

3) So the answer is B: (4×4) + (2×5)=$26
