• B. 6a + 8ay
• C. 6ax + 8ay
• D. 6ax + 8ay

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6ax + 8ay

Each student gets 2 chocolates.
There are 3x boys and 4y girls.
3x + 4y $\Rightarrow$ Total class size
Total number of students = total number of boys + total number of girls
Total chocolates = 2 $\times$ (Number of students)
= 2 $\times$ (3x + 4y) = 6ax + 8ay
Total number of chocolates Jack distributd are 6ax + 8ay.
