Question

Coach Martinez will order 2 pairs of shorts and 3 shirts for each player. There are 12 members on the team. If each pair of shorts costs x dollars and each shirt costs y dollars, which expression represents the total cost of his order?

Answer 1

12(3y+2x)

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to give an expression that represents the total cost of shorts for the players.

He is ordering 2 pairs of short and 3 shirts. Hence, per player, he would be spending the following:

2 pairs of shorts at x dollars each. Cost here is just $2x

3 shirts at y per one. Cost is $3y

Per player he is spending a total of 3y + 2x

Now, there are people to cater for. The total amount to spend will now be 12(3y + 2z )
