Question

A shopkeeper sells 'a' chocolates everyday for 4 days. If he sells 5 chocolates on the fifth day, how many chocolates did he sell in total?

• A. 4a + 5
• B. 4 $\times$ (a + 5)
• C. 5a + 4
• D. 5 $\times$ (a + 4)

Answer 1

The correct option is A 4a + 5

Number of chocolates sold by the shopkeeper in 4 days = 4 $\times$ a
= 4a
Number of chocolates sold by the shopkeeper on the fifth day = 5
Total number of chocolates sold by the shopkeeper = 4a + 5
