a.(2 × 25) + 105

b.(105 x 2) + (25 x 2)

c.2 x (25 + 105)

d.2 x 25 × 105

Answer 1

Answer:

a.(2 × 25) + 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours spent repairing the bike = x

Mr. Jones charged Roberta $105 for parts and $25 per hour for labor to repair her bicycle.

Therefore, our algebraic expression

= $25× x + $105

= 25x + 105

We were told in the question that He spent 2 hours repairing her bike.

Hence:

25 × 2 + 105

Therefore, the correct option is option a

a.(2 × 25) + 105
