A volleyball uniform costs $13 for the shirt, $11 for pants, and $8 for socks. Write two equivalent expressions for the total cost of 12 uniforms. Then find the cost.
Write an expression for the cost of 1 uniform, add $13, $11 and $8 .
$13+$11+$8
Write an expression for the cost of 12 uniforms, multiply 12 by the cost of 1 uniform.
12($13+$11+$8)
Simplify using the distributive property.
=12⋅13+12⋅11+12⋅8=156+132+96
Now Add.
=384
So, the total cost of 12 uniforms is $384 .
