Solution

First, let's calculate the total cost of the jerseys. Since each jersey costs 12andHermanbought4,thetotalcostforthejerseysis412 and Herman bought 4, the total cost for the jerseys is 4 * 12 = $48.

Next, let's add the cost of the basketball and the pair of shorts to the total cost of the jerseys. The basketball costs 29andtheshortscost29 and the shorts cost 19, so the total cost is 48(forthejerseys)+48 (for the jerseys) + 29 (for the basketball) + 19(fortheshorts)=19 (for the shorts) = 96.

Herman started with 139.Afterspending139. After spending 96 on basketball equipment, he has 139139 - 96 = $43 left.
