Solve a real-world problemSOFTBALL

Two softball teams submit equipment lists for the season. A bat costs $20, a ball costs $5, and a uniform costs $40. Use matrix multiplication to find the total cost of equipment for each team.

Solve a real-world problem

First, write the equipment lists and the costs per item in matrix form. You will use matrix multiplication, so you need to set up the matrices so that the number of columns of the equipment matrix matches the number of rows of the cost per item matrix.

Solve a real-world problem

You can find the total cost of equipment for each team by multiplying the equipment matrix by the cost per item matrix. The equipment matrix is 2 3 and the cost per item matrix is 3 1, so their product is a 2 1 matrix.

13(20) + 42(5) + 16(40)=

15(20) + 45(5) + 18(40)=

1110

1245

The total cost of equipment for the women’s team is $1110, and the total cost for the men’s team is $1245.
