Write an algebraic expression in simplest form that represents the purchase described below. Use the information provided:

Cat toy $4

Cat food $12

Litter box $16

Ms. James bought x number of litter boxes and 8 bags of cat food for the animal shelter.

16x+96

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is the number of litter boxes, you multiply it by the cost of the litter box. It would be 16*x, but you can also phrase it as 16x. For the cat food, you need to multiply 12 by 8. This is because it costs $12, and she bought 8 bags of the food. If you do 12*8, you get 96. In the end, you get 16x+96
