I believe this question is referring to purchasing a discount on a loan's interest rate by putting more towards closing costs. For mortgages, sometimes they will allow you to "buy" a smaller interest rate. For example:
<span>Loan A has an interest rate of 4.5% and no closing costs. </span>
<span>Loan B has an interest rate of 4.375%, but has $1000 in closing costs. </span>
<span>Normally, Loan A would be the better choice if you plan on keeping the home short term, but Loan B would be more beneficial for keeping the loan long-term. I don't really care to spend the time that is necessary to come up with an actual scenario, but I hope that helps enough for you to understand the question.</span>

anything done in the parentheses comes first
so you have to add first then multiply
this is not the distributive property unless the two numbers in parentheses are not like terms
