The distributive property states that:
a(b+c)=ab+bc.
or more generally: a(b+c+d)=ab+av+ad.
This is a very useful tool to perform multiplication.
For example, if we want to multiply 7 by 234, we can proceed as follows:
7*234=7(200+30+4)=7*200+7*30+7*4=1400+210+28=1610+28=1638
back to our problem,
4 * 24 = 4(20+4)=4*20+4*4=80+16=96 ($)
So, instead of multiplying 4 by 24, we multiplied 4 by 20 and 4, which is easier, and then added these together.
Answer:
4 * 24 = 4(20+4) [=4*20+4*4=80+16=96 ($)]
Number 12 what do you think we do first
Answer:
3 stands for the main amount.
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know:
(Also,

What we need to solve:
(This is equal to

How you have to subtract
with
to get:

Thus, the answer would be:

Or for this and any other problem . every percentage is out of a 100
soooo ,
20 | 100 %
10 | 50 %
5 | 25 %
1 | 5 %
SOOO
10 + 5 = 15 50 % + 25 % = 75 % , so know we know 15/20 is 75 percent
but you need 18/20 not 15/20 , so 1 equals 5 % in this problem
1+1+1 = 3 5+5+5 = 15
15 + 3 = 90 75 + 15 = 90 , 18/20 = 90%
I know its probably alot but I wanted to show you all I did , so that it could maybe help you in the future , just gotta plug in different numbers
