To find the total cost of the volleyballs, we need to calculate the product of 12 (the number of volleyballs) and 26 (the price per volleyball).
Part 1: Find the Partial Products of 12 × 26
We can break down the multiplication into easier components:
-
Decompose 26 into 20 and 6:
- \( 12 \times 20 = 240 \)
- \( 12 \times 6 = 72 \)
-
Now add the two products together:
- \( 240 + 72 = 312 \)
In terms of the partial products, you can show how multiplication can be done:
- 12 (from 12 x 20)
- 240 (from 12 x 20, carried as 12 x 2 and then adding a zero)
- 72 (from 12 x 6)
The option that shows partial products is: 12, 60, 40, 200 (This isn't the right breakdown based on our calculation, so likely the choices repeat based on misunderstanding)
Part 2: Calculate How Much the Team Spent
The total spent is \( 12 \times 26 = 312 \).
Thus, the answer to how much the team spent is: $312.00.
