Coach Smith is buying equipment for his soccer team. He has 11 players and each player needs three uniforms, two shin guards, one ball, and two pairs of cleats.

Part A: Write an algebraic expression to represent this situation.
Part B: If each uniform costs $48.00, each shin guard costs $5.00, each ball costs $17.00, and each pair of cleats costs $89.00, determine how much Coach Smith will spend, before taxes, on equipment for his soccer team.

PART A:
Let the cost of a uniform be a, that of a shin guard, b, that of a ball, c, and that of a pair of cleats, d, then
The algebraic expression representing the situation is given by
11(3a + 2b + c + 2d)


PART B:
The amount coach smith will spend is given by
11(3(48) + 2(5) + 17 + 2(89)) = 11(144 + 10 + 17 + 178) = 11(349) = $3,839
