Question

My daughter needs help and I don't understand the question ethier.

Answer 1

So firstly, let's figure out the expression for a singular goody bag. Since there's 2 of each item, a single goody bag is going to be $(1.07*2+0.85*2+2.12*2)$

Now since we have 7 friends who are all getting 1 goody bag, multiply the cost of the goody bag by 7, and our expression is $7(1.07*2+0.85*2+2.12*2)$ . Now we can solve it from there.

Firstly, solve the multiplication inside the parentheses: $7(2.14+1.7+4.24)$

Now add up what's inside the parentheses: $7(8.08)$

Lastly, multiply and your answer will be $56.56
