We obtain same product by both the methods.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Commutative property of multiplication:

Different ways to find the product:
1. First way

2. Second way

We get the same product for both the calculations.
10.5 ( near parallel to the one next to x which will equal 11 or 11.5 but 10.5 is associated with its compression.
Answer = 10.5
(thanks if you give branliest it is always appreciated)
You started out with 260, and increased to 430.
The amount you increased was (430 - 260) = 170
170 is (170/260) = <em>65.4%</em> of what you started with.
============================
Another way:
The new amount is (430/260) of the old amount.
430 / 260 = 1.654 = 165.4%
The original amount was 260.
You started with 100% of it.
You ended up with 165.4% of it.
That's an increase of 65.4% .
Yes she is right. i turned it into a fraction which would be 18/15. then divide 18 by 15, which is 1.2 . then multiply 1.2 by 100
