Answer:
A) Commutative
Step-by-step explanation:
The Associative has to do with re-grouping numbers. There are only two numbers so this does not apply here. Commutative is where you change the order; that's what the equation is demonstrating.
What he/she said is correct
Let S be the amount in a savings account.
Let m be the number of months.
General equation
S = 132 + 27m
Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321
Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
