Question

Please help me solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean buys some T-shirts for $12 each and the same number of belts for $7.50 each. Write an expression in the simplest form that represents the total amount.

So n represents the same number for t-shirts and belts.

Therefore n x 12.50 + n x 7.50 OR n(12.50+7.50)

The problem the student made was that they multiplied 12 times n plus 7.50. They forgot to multiply n times 7.50.

An expression that represents the total amount spent is 12n + 7.50n

Hope this helps!
