• A. $2800\times 8$
• B. $2800+8$
• C. $2800-8$
• D. $\frac{2800}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2800\times 8$

We know the cost of one item.

To find the cost of 8 items, we need to add the cost of one item 8 times.

Since, it is a repeated addition it is nothing but multiplying the cost of one item by 8.

Therefore, the cost of 8 items will be $2800\times 8$.
