Select the Correct Answer:
12h + 8b
8h + 12b
96bh
Correct Choice:
8h + 12b
Hotdogs come in packs of 8. The number of hotdogs in h packs can be written as 8h. Buns come in packs of 12. The number of buns in b packs can be written as 12b. 'Total' means add, so the total number of hotdogs and buns is 8h + 12b.
