Just divide 1,300 by 5.
260 would be your answer. If you want an explanation, if you think about the term 100%, that's the total at the time. Amplifying that 100% by five would practically mean five times the amount of 100%, so 500%. You're just multiplying the amount of bunnies at the time by 5. (500% in decimal form is 5)
<h2><u>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY</u></h2>
The distributive property indicates that multiplying a number by the sum of two addends is equal to multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.
In general terms:
<h3>m(n + p) = mn + mp</h3>
<u>In this exercise</u>:
Let's apply the distributive property:



<h3><u>Answer</u>: 6w - 10y</h3>
Joel = j, Mark = m, Sandra = s
j + m + s = 120
m = 3j
j = 1/2 s --> s = 2j
plug in (substitute) each letter to make it in terms of only j: j + m + s = 120
j + 3j + 2j = 120
6j = 120
6j/6 = 120/6
j = 20
now plug in for the j & s equation:
s = 2j = 2(20) = 40
Therefore Sandra has 40 coins!
