• A. 3ax + 4ay
• B. 3ay + 4ax
• C. 3a + 4ay
• D. 3ax + 4a

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3ax + 4ay

Each student gets 'a' number of 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 = a $\times$ (Number of students)
= a $\times$ (3x + 4y) = 3ax + 4ay
Total number of chocolates Jack distributd are 3ax + 4ay.
