a package of soccer accessories cost $25 for cleats, $14 for shin guards, and $12 for a ball. Write two equivalent expressions for the total cost of 9 accessory packages
To find the total cost of 9 accessory packages, we need to multiply the cost of one package by 9.
Expression 1: Cost of one package (cleats + shin guards + ball) = $25 + $14 + $12 = $51
Total cost of 9 accessory packages = 9 * $51 = $459
Expression 2: Cost of one package multiplied by 9 = $51 * 9 = $459
So, two equivalent expressions for the total cost of 9 accessory packages are $459 and $51 * 9.
