    the product of 8 and 15 more than a number.

    Take this algebraic expression in pieces.

    The phrase a number means an arbitrary variable, let's call it x.
    x

    15 more than x means we add 15 to x:
    x + 15

    The product of 8 and 15 more than a number means we multiply 8 by x + 15
    8(x + 15)
