So the expression for total number of straws is: 15p+48b

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Straws in a pack = 15

Straws in a box = 48

Here

p denotes the number of packs and b is the number of boxes.

The product of number of packs and number of straws in a pack will give us the total straws in packs

15*p = 15p

Similarly, the product of number of boxes and number of straws in a box will give us the total straws in box

48*b = 48b

The sum of both will give us the total number of straws

So the expression for total number of straws is: 15p+48b
