To use the distributive property, we "distribute" a value on the outside of a set of parentheses to all of the values on the inside of the parentheses. For example...
6(3 + 9) = 6*3 + 6*9
For your problem, you only have one value 13.99, but we can split it apart to make it a little easier to work with (like with mental math). We can say that 13.99 is the same as 10 + 3.99. Now we can take it and multiply by 9 with the distributive property...
9(10 + 3.99) =
9*10 + 9*3.99 =
90 + 35.91 =
$125.91
Answer:
C. The principal randomly selects homeroom classes and surveys each student in the chosen classes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Middle school is 6-8th. Surveying only the eighth-grade students won't give a representative sample of the whole school only the eighth-graders. Option A is incorrect.
Surveying only the students in detention represents a very small amount of students compared to the school, therefore it is not a representative sample. Option B is incorrect.
Yet again, the students in the math club is a small amount of students compared to the school. It does not represent the entire, or majority of the population. Option D is incorrect.
Picking students from homeroom classes and surveying each will give a wider variation of opinions from each grade and therefore a representative sample. Option C is the correct answer.
