Question

A volleyball uniform costs $15 for the shirt, $12 for shorts, and $8 for socks. Which expression applies the distributive property and will yield the total cost for 10 uniforms?

Answer 1

Cost of 10 sets of uniform is $350.

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Cost of one volleyball = $15

Cost of one pair of shorts = $12

Cost of one pair of socks = $8

We have to find cost for 10 sets of such uniform. This can be done with the help of the distributive property.

The distributive property helps us to multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

`a* (b+c) = (a* b) + (a* c)`

Cost for 10 pairs of uniform =

`10* \text{Cost of 1 set of uniform}\\=10* (15+12+8)\\=(10* 15) + (10* 12) + (10* 8)\\ = 150 + 120 + 80\\= 350`

Hence, cost of 10 sets of uniform is $350.

Answer 2

I think it would be 350$

Explanation:

ok so you have to buy 10 shirts so you need to set up your problem which would be 10(12+8+15)

Then you would have to actually distribute which would give you 120+80+150

Finally you just add all of your numbers together which would be 350$
