Last year, Becky's dog weighed 70 pounds. One year later, she had gained p pounds. Which expression gives her weight one year later?


A.


70 + p


B.


70 × p


C.


70 - p


D.


70 ÷ p

Answer 1

Option A: 70 + p

Since you start with a weight of 70 and "p" is added to that 70 pounds a year later, the expression "70 + p" is the dog's weight after a year.

Dividing, subtracting, and multiplying do not make sense in this problem as "p" is only representative of a definite amount of pounds added to that original amount of 70 one year later.

Hope this helps!
