Answer 1

We know that the prices of the clothing are

Shirt $23

Belt $9

Sweater $38

Pair of Jeans $42

And we must find how much money Ming spent if Ming bought 8 belts.

Since Ming bought 8 belts we can find the money spent multiplying 8 by the cost of one belt

In order to make the multiplication more easy we can rewrite 8 as 4*2

Finally, the money spent will be

`4\cdot2\cdot\text{ \$9= \$72}`

So, Ming spent $72
