Question

Use the Distributive Property to find the price of 4 CDs that cost $14.99 each.

Answer 1

The distributive property is the property in mathematics that allows us to multiply one term with two or more terms inside a set of parentheses, such as $x(y+z)$

If $x = 2$, then $x(y+z) = 2(y+z) = 2y+2z$

In your problem, the $x$ of my made-up formula is 4 and the $(y+z)$ is $14.99, therefore you should set up your equation as $4(14.99) = ?$

Answer 2

Our equation for this problem would be 
14.99 × 4 = x
Let x be the total price. Just multiply together and we get
x = 59.96
So the answer is C. $59.96
