Mr. Hartman, the school librarian, is ordering new keyboards and mice for all of the school's computer labs. Each keyboard costs
$13.50, and each mouse costs $6.50. There are 3 computer labs in the school, and each computer lab has s computer stations. Pick all the expressions that represent how much Mr. Hartman will spend on new keyboards and mice.
In order to find out how much Mr. Hartman will spend in total we first need to multiply the price of the keyboard and mouse by the number of computers in a single computer station.

If we turn this into an expression it would be the following...
3 * (13.50s + 6.50s)
We can even simplify this by first adding the cost of the keyboard and mouse and then multiplying by s
