Question

Keisha bought N packs of pencils. Each pack has 12 pencils. Write an equation to represent the total number of pencils P that Keisha bought.

Answer 1

Hi!

The equation looks like this:

P = N * 12, where P represents the total number of pencils and N is number of packs

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer: Our required expression would be $12N=P$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of packs of pencils be 'N'.

Number of pencils in each pack = 12

Let the total number of pencils that Keisha bought be 'P'.

According to question, our equation becomes,

$12\times N=P\\\\12N=P$

Hence, our required expression would be

$12N=P$
