Lance and 7 other friends go to an activity center together. They each pay $5.95 for dinner, $4 for laser tag, $3.60 for bowling shoes, and $2.25 for video games. The total amount they spent is 8(5.95)+8(4)+8(3.60)+8(2.25). Rewrite the expression so that it only has one multiplication operation.

Sagot :

The original equation: 8(5.95)+8(4)+8(3.60)+8(2.25)= $126.4

To answer the question you should add all of the numbers within the parenthesis together: 5.95+4+3.60+2.25= $15.8

Then multiply that answer times the total number of people: 8(15.8)= $126.4
