📝 Explanation:

- Each "ten" is worth 10, so 3 tens = 3 × 10 = 30.
- Each "one" is worth 1.
- To find the total, just add the value of the tens and ones together.
- The expanded form shows how the number is built from its place values.

This helps students understand place value — that a digit’s position determines its value.
