Answer: The correct option is (B)[tex]5(3+16).[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the correct expression that is equivalent to the expression below :
[tex]E=15+80~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
The value of the above expression is
[tex]E=15+80=95.[/tex]
We have
[tex]3(5+20)=3\times 25=75\neq 95,\\\\5(3+16)=5\times19=95,\\\\15(1+4)=15\times 5=75\neq 95,\\\\4(4+20)=4\times24=96\neq95.[/tex]
Therefore, the required equivalent expression is [tex]5(3+16).[/tex]
Option (B) is CORRECT.
