Sheryl has 7 more than one-third as many pairs of shorts as Katie has. If Katie has pairs of shorts, which expression describes the number of pairs of shorts Sheryl has?

A.7-1/3x

B.3x+7

C. (1/3 - x)-7

D. 1/3x + 7

I think the answer is C

7 more ==> 7+

one-third as many ==> 1/3 *

SO, D: 1/3 x + 7

To find the expression that represents the number of pairs of shorts Sheryl has, we can break down the problem step by step.

First, let's assume that Katie has "x" pairs of shorts.

According to the information given, Sheryl has 7 more than one-third as many pairs of shorts as Katie has. This means that Sheryl has (1/3)x + 7 pairs of shorts.

Therefore, the expression that describes the number of pairs of shorts Sheryl has is:

D. 1/3x + 7
