b. $12.00
c. $10.20
d. $10.10

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 10.20

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 erasers and each eraser is $0.85 so 0.85 +  0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85 + 0.85

We add it 12 times instead of doing that just multiplying it x 12 is easier

so 12 x 0.85

10.20

that's it.
