Answer:

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property states that,

multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

That is,

a(b + c) = ab + ac

3 avocados cost $0.40 each

3x0.40

= $1.2

5 lemons cost $0.40 each.

5x0.40

= $2

Total = $1.2 + $2

= $3.2

Using distributive property

(3+5)0.40

= 8(0.40)

= $3.2
