Explanation:

The Wild Things Pet Store has 4 birdcages with 6 canaries in each cage. The pet store also has a birdcage with 8 parakeets. Which expression shows the number of birds in Wild Things Pet Store?

Solution:

Each birdcage contain 6 canaries, therefore since there is a total of 4 birdcages, the number of canaries in the 4 bird cages is given by:

Number of canaries = 4 birdcages * 6 canaries per birdcage

Also, there is one birdcage with 8 parakeets, hence the number of parakeets is:

Number of Parakeet = 1 birdcage * 8 parakeet per birdcage = 8 parakeet

The total number of birds in the Pet store = number of canaries + number of parakeet

number of birds in the Pet store = (4 * 6) + 8
