Step-by-step explanation:
8 times 12 is 96
10 times 15 is 150 add them together and get 246
First, we can see that he used the Distributive property. Then after that, he used the Additive property. After that, he combined like terms and the used the additive property again. Finally, he used the divisive property.
We set up a proportion: 84/?= 56/100
Cross multiply: 56*?= 84*100
⇒ ?= 84*100/56= 150
56% of 150 is 84.
