1)) Jackie is buying holiday presents for he friends. She buys them each a scarf and a pair of gloves. Each scarf costs \( \$ 9 \), and eact pair of gloves costs \( \$ 6 \). Jackie buys 3 sets. ()) Which expression tells you the total cost 0 II of the sets? \( (\$ 9+\$ 6) \div 3 \) \( (\$ 9+\$ 6) \cdot 3 \)

To find the total cost of the sets, you need to add the cost of a scarf and a pair of gloves together, and then multiply the total by the number of sets Jackie buys. The correct expression is \( (\$ 9 + \$ 6) \cdot 3 \) because you're calculating the total cost for all three sets, which means you're summing the individual costs and then scaling it up according to how many sets she purchased.
