Distributive Property in Shipping Costs

A logistics coordinator is calculating the total cost for 3 priority shipping labels, each priced at a flat rate of $9.25. To simplify the calculation using the distributive property, the coordinator rewrites the total as $3(9 + 0.25)$. What specific mathematical expression represents the next step of the process, showing the factor of 3 distributed to both the dollar and the cent amounts before they are multiplied?
