Question

You buy 8 packs of markers with 20 markers in each pack. You already had 10 markers. Which equation shows how to calculate the total number of markers, m, you have?

Answer 1

$(20 \times 8) + 10 = y$
I couldn't put m.
So y is m

Answer 2

Answer: $m= 8(20)+10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of markers in each of 8 pack = 20

Then, the number of markers in 8 packs = 8 x 20 = 8(20)

Also, You already had 10 markers.

Then, the total markers you have now =  Number of markers in 8 packs+ 10

= 8(20)+10

If we denote the total number of markers be 'm'.

Then, the required equation will be :-

$m= 8(20)+10$

Hence, the equation shows how to calculate the total number of markers, m, you have : $m= 8(20)+10$
