Associative Property states that grouping symbols does not affect the outcome. This property works for Addition and Multiplication:
2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4
6 • (5 • 4) = (6 • 5) • 4
Jack's mom is purchasing thirteen tickets at a price of $11 each. This
equals a total of $143 in total spent. If Jack's mom has a credit card
limit of $500, then after purchasing $143 with the card, her available
amount to purchase additional things is $357. This impact on her
available credit is due to credit cards working on an available balance
system. When Jack's mom first received her credit card, a set balance or
total amount she could purchase with the card was set. In this example,
her total amount she could purchase with the card was $500. After her
purchase of the tickets for $143 was completed, she subtracted that
amount from her total available of $500 and that is why her available
amount to purchase is now $357.
I would personally like butterflies :)
