Question

at the start of the softball season, the p players on the hammerin homers softball team each ordered white uniforms. a white jersey cost $18 and a white hat cost $7. later in the season, the players decided to switch to a blue uniform with a special logo instead. so, each player paid $20 for a blue jersey and $10 for a blue hat.
pick all the expressions that represent the total cost of the teams uniforms.
55p
(18p + 7) + (20p + 10)
25p + 30p
38p + 17

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate per-player total cost

White uniform cost per player: $\$18 + \$7 = \$25$
Blue uniform cost per player: $\$20 + \$10 = \$30$
Total per player: $25 + 30 = 55$

Step2: Total team cost (p players)

Total cost = $55p$

Step3: Verify equivalent expressions

$25p + 30p = (25+30)p = 55p$, which matches.

Step4: Eliminate incorrect expressions

$(18p + 7) + (20p + 10) = 38p + 17$, which does not equal $55p$. $38p + 17$ also does not match $55p$.

Answer:

$55p$, $25p + 30p$
