The expanded form of the number 285 is expressed by breaking it down according to the value of each digit in its place. In the number 285:

- The 2 is in the hundreds place, so it represents \(2 \times 100\).
- The 8 is in the tens place, so it represents \(8 \times 10\).
- The 5 is in the ones place, so it represents \(5 \times 1\).

Putting it all together, the expanded form of 285 is:

\[2 \times 100 + 8 \times 10 + 5 \times 1\]

So the correct answer is: **\(2 \times 100 + 8 \times 10 + 5 \times 1\)**.
