Question

Tissues are sold in packs and boxes A pack holds 20 tissues and a box holds 120 tissues Sia buys P packs of tissues and B boxes of tissues She buys a total of T tissues

Answer 1

Answer:

$T=20P+120B$

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Tissues are sold in packs and boxes A pack holds 20 tissues and a box holds 120 tissues. Sia buys P packs of tissues and B boxes of tissues. She buys a total of T tissues Write down a formula for T in terms of P and B.

Let P represent number of packs of tissues and B represent number of boxes of tissues.

Since each pack holds 20 tissues, so tissues in P packs would be $20P$.

Since each box holds 120 tissues, so tissues in B boxes would be $120B$.

The total number of tissues would be sum of tissues in P packs and B boxes that is $20P+120B$.

We are told that Sia bought a total of T tissues, so we can equate T with total number of tissues as:

$T=20P+120B$

Therefore, our required formula would be $T=20P+120B$.
