Each piece of pie has 200 calories, and each scoop of ice cream has 200 calories. If John has x pieces of pie and each piece is accompanied by 3 scoops of ice cream, then the total calories for each piece of pie and its ice cream is 200 (for the pie) + 3*200 (for the ice cream), making the expression for the total calories consumed (200 + 3*200)x.
