Q. A store clerk put vv cans of vegetable soup and 1515 cans of chicken soup on a shelf. Choose the expression that shows how many cans of soup the clerk handled in all.\newlineChoices:\newline(A) v15v - 15\newline(B) 15v15 - v\newline(C) 1515\newline(D) v+15v + 15
  1. Clerk puts cans: The clerk put vv cans of vegetable soup on the shelf, We don't know how many that is cause it's a variable.
  2. Adding chicken soup: Then they added 1515 cans of chicken soup to what was already there, So we gotta add the 1515 to the vv cans of vegetable soup.
  3. Total cans expression: The expression that shows the total cans of soup is vv (for the vegetable soup) plus 1515 (for the chicken soup), So it's like v+15v + 15.
  4. Matching to choices: Now we just gotta match our expression to the choices, v+15v + 15 is the same as choice (D)(D), So that's our answer.
