standard_description: Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.

Nola was selling tickets at the high school dance. At the end of the evening, she picked up the cash box and noticed a dollar lying on the floor next to it. She said,
I wonder whether the dollar belongs inside the cash box or not.
The price of tickets for the dance was 1 ticket for \$5 (for individuals) or 2 tickets for \$8 (for couples). She looked inside the cash box and found \$200 and ticket stubs for the 47 students in attendance. Does the dollar belong inside the cash box or not?
