Well, if 5% of them are real, that means 95% of the calls they get each day are false alarms.  

If we set up our inequality and multiply (Which i'm assuming you know how to do) We would get 114. Therefore, 114 calls would be false alarms.

How do you find the property of 34 + 0 + 18 + 26 using Common Core math?
Flauer [41]
I assume you're looking for the sum.

I would use the null property to eliminate 0
34+0+18+26
=34+18+26
then use commutativity to rearrange
=34+26 + 18
Add 34+26=60
=60+18
=78
