Latoya has b decks of cards . Each deck has 52 cards in it , what is the expression for the total numbers of cards latoya has

Answer 1

52b

Explanation:

She has 52 cards per deck, and b decks.

This means she has 52b cards.

How this works:

For 1 deck, she has 52 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 2 decks, she has 104 cards, or 52×1 cards.

For 5 decks, she has 260 cards, or 52×5 cards.

For 10 decks, she has 520 cards, or 52×10 cards.

Therefore, for b decks, she has 52×b, or 52b cards.
