    a package of soccer accessories costs $25 for cleats, $14 for shin guards , and $12 for a ball. Write two equivalent expressions for the total cost of 9 accessory package. Then find the cost.

    Let c be the number of cleats, s be the number of shin guards, and b be the number of balls. We have the following cost function for 9 accessory packages:
    9(25c + 14s + 12b)

    But if we multiply through, we get an equivalent expression:
    225c + 126s + 108b
