12/3 is 4 so multiply each by 4 so 7.79 x 4 is 31.16 5.68x4 22.72 13.99x4 55.96


31.16 + 22.72+ 55.96

Answer: $109.84

Answer: $516.48

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply 7.79 by 3 because it's 3 for each employee then multiply by 12 for each employee which equals 280.44. then 5.68 x 12 which is 68.16 for the cap. then 13.99 x 12 for the shirt which is 167.88. add 280.44, 68.16, and 167.88 to get 516.48.
