Distributive property of division is that the division of a sum equals the division of the summands.
Algebraically, this is:
[x + y + z] / a = x/a + y/a + z/a.
So, applying this to 144 / 8, you can split 144 as [72 + 32 + 40] / 8 = 72/8 + 32/8 + 40/8 = 9 + 4 + 5 = 18

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

  $111

Step-by-step explanation:

The bank balance is ...

  $700 × (1 + 0.05) = $735

The cost of the computer is ...

  $750 × (1 -0.20) × (1 +0.04) = $624

The remaining bank balance after paying for the computer is ...

  $735 -624 = $111

_____

When you add a percentage, you effectively multiply by the sum of 1 and that percentage. The same is true if the amount "added" is negative (as for a discounted price).

  (original amount) + (percentage)×(original amount)

Use the distributive property to factor out the original amount:

 = (original amount)×(1 + percentage)
