To figure out 23.2%, first figure out how much 1% is by dividing 1500 divided by 100=15
Next, multiply the 15(1%) by the 23.2% to figure out how much that is.
23.2 x 15 = 348
Now, you have to add thr investment ($348) to his originsl amount of money ($1500).
$1500 + $348 = $1848
Zach now has $1848
567 = 500+60+7
4*567 = 4*(500+60*7)
4*567 = 4*500 + 4*60 + 4*7 ... see note below
4*567 = 2000 + 240 + 28
4*567 = 2268
--------
note: multiply the outer term 4 by each term inside the parenthesis to use the distributive property. The general distributive property is a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. This can be extended to a*(b+c+d) = a*b+a*c+a*d. You can have as many terms as you like inside the parenthesis.
