Question

A volleyball uniform cost s dollars for the shirt, p dollars for pants, and k dollars for socks. Write two equivalent expressions for the total cost of 12 uniforms.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The volleyball uniform is made up of a shirt, a pant and a pair of socks.

Let s dollars represent the cost of the shirt.

Let p dollars represent the cost of the pant.

Let k dollars represent the cost of the pair of socks.

The total cost of one uniform would be

$(s + p + k)

The total cost of 12 uniforms will be

12(s + p + k)

= 12s + 12p + 12k
