Question

Last year, there were 245 pies baked for the bake sale. This year, there were k pies baked . Using k, write an expression for the total number of pies baked in the two years.

Answer 1

245 + k

Explanation:

Since we know that,

245 = amt. of pies baked for the bake sale last year.

--> and k = (unknown) amt. of pies baked for the bake sale this year.

Using k, we need to write the total amt. of pies baked for bake sales in the 2 years.

last year + this year =>

respectively, 245 and k

Thus, we get 245 + k
