The GCF of 16 and 40 is 8.
16/8 = 2
40/8 = 5
We can rewrite this using the distribute property like so:
<h3><u>8(2 + 5)</u></h3>
Using the distributive property:
16 + 40
16 + 40 = 56
We can also add inside the parentheses and multiply and we'll get the same answer.
8(7)
56
It could be 8 since 8x18= 144 and 144 divided by 2 is 72
The answer would most likely be c because you multiply 0.75 by the amount of units sold and find out the profit after adding it.
Hope this helps! :)
