To simplify the expression \((2b + 3r) + (4b + r)\), we can combine like terms.
1. Start by writing out the expression:
\[
(2b + 3r) + (4b + r)
\]
2. Remove the parentheses:
\[
2b + 3r + 4b + r
\]
3. Combine the \(b\) terms:
\[
(2b + 4b) + (3r + r) = 6b + 4r
\]
So the simplified expression for the total cost is \(6b + 4r\).
The correct response is **6b + 4r**.
