(a)
Answer to Problem 50PPS
The three different expressions to represent 8 pairs of shorts and 8 tops are given below.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The costing of children clothing; shorts, shirts, and tank tops; is given below.
Shorts | Shirts | Tank Tops |
$7.99 | $8.99 | $6.99 |
$5.99 | $4.99 | $2.99 |
Calculation:
The pricing for 8 pairs of shorts and 8 tops can be calculated by considering the different cost of each items.
Let there are 8 pairs of shorts at costing $7.99 per short and 4 pairs of tops at costing $6.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $2.99 per top.
Let there are 4 pairs of shorts at costing $7.99 per short and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $5.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $4.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $2.99 per top
Let there are 8 pairs of shorts at costing $5.99 per short and 4 pairs of tops at costing $6.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $2.99 per top.
Therefore, the three different expressions to represent 8 pairs of shorts and 8 tops are shown above.
(b)

Answer to Problem 50PPS
The cost of the 16 items is given below.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The costing of children clothing; shorts, shirts, and tank tops; is given below.
Shorts | Shirts | Tank Tops |
$7.99 | $8.99 | $6.99 |
$5.99 | $4.99 | $2.99 |
Calculation:
The pricing for 8 pairs of shorts and 8 tops can be calculated by considering the different cost of each items.
Let there are 8 pairs of shorts at costing $7.99 per short and 4 pairs of tops at costing $6.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $2.99 per top.
Let there are 4 pairs of shorts at costing $7.99 per short and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $5.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $4.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $2.99 per top
Let there are 8 pairs of shorts at costing $5.99 per short and 4 pairs of tops at costing $6.99 per top and 4 pairs of shorts at costing $2.99 per top.
From the above, it is clear that the pricing of 16 items varies. The total prices decreases when the pricing of item decreases.
(c)
To find: The find the greatest and the least amount to purchase the 16 items.
(c)
Answer to Problem 50PPS
The greatest and the least amount to purchase the 16 items are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The costing of children clothing; shorts, shirts, and tank tops; is given below.
Shorts | Shirts | Tank Tops |
$7.99 | $8.99 | $6.99 |
$5.99 | $4.99 | $2.99 |
Calculation:
The greatest pricing of the 16 items can be calculated as follows.
Since, a discount of 15% is given on the 16 items. Calculate the cost of the 16 items after discount.
The least pricing of the 16 items can be calculated as follows.
Since, a discount of 15% is given on the 16 items. Calculate the cost of the 16 items after discount.
Therefore, the greatest and the least amount to purchase the 16 items are
