One T shirt cost $7.5; Hence 35 T-shirt will cost 35 * 7.5 = $262.5 One pair of shorts cost $9 Hence 45 pair of shorts cost 45 * 9 = $405 One windbreaker cost $12.25 Hence 25 windbreakers cost 12.25 * 25 = $306.25 Her total cost = $306.25 + $405 + $262.5 = $973.25

Answer 2

$973.75

Explanation:

Cost of 1 T-shirt = $7.50

Cost of 35 T-shirt =
`7.50 * 35 = 262.5`

Cost of 1 Shorts = $9.00

Cost of 45 T-shirt =
`9 * 45 = 405`

Cost of 1 windbreakers = $12.25

Cost of 25 windbreakers =
`12.25 * 25 =306.25`

So, Total cost of 35 T-shirts, 45 pairs of shorts, and 25 windbreakers = 262.5+405+306.25=$973.75

Hence Her total cost is $973.75
