so b is the number of boxes fill with books
the van can hold 16 box, then 16 - b is the the number of boxes fill with cloths

the boxes that fill with books hold 60 lbs each
the boxes that fill with cloths hold 15 lbs each

let W(b) be the weight in terms of the number of boxes

W(b) = 60b + 15(16 - b)
W(b) = 60b + 240 - 15b
W(b) = 45b + 240 <== answer
