Question

Use the Distributive Property to find the price of 4 CDs that cost $14.99 each.

A.$60.40
B.$56.00
C.$59.96
D.$60.00

Answer 1

Our equation for this problem would be
14.99 × 4 = x
Let x be the total price. Just multiply together and we get
x = 59.96
So the answer is C. $59.96
Hope I helped!

Answer 2

the distributive property is the property in mathematics that allows us to multiply one term with two or more terms inside a set of parentheses, such as
`x(y+z)`

If
`x = 2`, then
`x(y+z) = 2(y+z) = 2y+2z`

In your problem, the
`x` of my made-up formula is 4 and the
`(y+z)` is $14.99, therefore you should set up your equation as
`4(14.99) = ?`
