The distributive property states that:
a(b+c)=ab+bc.
or more generally: a(b+c+d)=ab+av+ad.
This is a very useful tool to perform multiplication.
For example, if we want to multiply 7 by 234, we can proceed as follows:
7*234=7(200+30+4)=7*200+7*30+7*4=1400+210+28=1610+28=1638
back to our problem,
4 * 24 = 4(20+4)=4*20+4*4=80+16=96 ($)
So, instead of multiplying 4 by 24, we multiplied 4 by 20 and 4, which is easier, and then added these together.
Answer:
4 * 24 = 4(20+4) [=4*20+4*4=80+16=96 ($)]

1) The amount M 1 IS $20 increases by 10% = 10 % *(20) + 20 = 22
2) The amount M1 decreases by 10% = 22- (10%*22) = $ 19,8 IS THE AMOUNT that i earn each week
After 45 minutes you will have painted 4*45=180 square feet.
so the total number of painted area, y, is:
y=180+x*(3+4) after the 45 minutes
where x is the number of minutes AFTER THE 45 minutes:
if y is 1000 then
1000=180+x*7
820=x*7
x=117.14
so 117 minutes, or one hour and 57 minutes.
Calculate the circumference of the full circle:
circumference = PI x diameter = 3.14 x 20 = 62.8 inches
the arc length is 160 degrees of the full circle
divide 160 by 360 (full circle) and multiply by the circumference:
160/360 x 62.8 = 27.9 inches
