1. **State the problem:**
We need to find which expressions correctly represent the total amount of money Alice spends after attending 8 art classes, where each class she buys a bottle of juice for $1.25 and a bag of pretzels for $0.85.
2. **Understand the problem:**
Each class, Alice spends $1.25 + 0.85$ dollars.
After 8 classes, the total amount spent is 8 times the sum of these two amounts.
3. **Write the formula:**
Total cost after 8 classes = $8 \times (1.25 + 0.85)$
4. **Evaluate the expressions given:**
- $8(1.25)(0.85)$ means 8 times 1.25 times 0.85, which is not correct because the juice and pretzels costs should be added, not multiplied.
- $8(1.25 + 0.85)$ correctly represents 8 times the sum of the costs.
- $8(1.25) + 8(0.85)$ is equivalent to $8 \times 1.25 + 8 \times 0.85$, which simplifies to $8(1.25 + 0.85)$, so this is correct.
- $8 + 1.25 + 0.85$ adds 8 to the costs, which is incorrect.
- $(8 + 1.25) + (8 + 0.85)$ adds 8 to each cost separately, which is incorrect.
5. **Conclusion:**
The correct expressions are:
- $8(1.25 + 0.85)$
- $8(1.25) + 8(0.85)$
6. **Final answer:**
The expressions that represent the amount of money Alice spends after 8 classes are:
$$8(1.25 + 0.85) \quad \text{and} \quad 8(1.25) + 8(0.85)$$
