Evaluate a bundled context expression
Problem
A spirit bundle contains a \(\$12\) T-shirt and an \(\$8\) water bottle. The PTA buys \(4\) bundles and \(3\) extra stickers at \(\$2~\text{each}\). What is the total cost?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The story contains two kinds of equal groups: complete bundles and extra stickers. We’ll find the cost of one whole bundle before multiplying by the number of bundles, find the sticker subtotal separately, and then add the two subtotals. Grouping the bundle items ensures both are counted each time.
