Question:

The question is incomplete as it didn't state what we are to determine. Consider the following question:

The coach of a hockey team ordered pucks and sticks from the Hockey Guys company. The company shipped 5 boxes of pucks with 20 pucks in each box and 8 boxes of sticks with 10 sticks in each box.

Which expression below represents how many items were shipped in all?

answer choices

a) (5 + 20) x (8 + 10)

b) (5 + 20 + 8 + 10)

c) (5 x 20) x (8 x 10)

d) (5 x 20) + (8 x 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boxes of pucks the company shipped = 5

Each box contain = 20 pucks

Total number of pucks shipped = 5*20

Total number of pucks shipped = (5*20) pucks

Number of boxes of sticks the company shipped = 8

Each box contain = 10 sticks

Total number of sticks shipped = 8*10

Total number of sticks shipped = (8*10) sticks

The number of items shipped in all = Total number of pucks shipped + Total number of sticks shipped

The number of items shipped in all = (5*20) + (8*10)

This is option D
