Question

For a school fundraiser, Ernie sold 66 gift cars, Jessie sold 24 gift cards, and Makayla sold 78 gift cards. Choose the expression that uses GCF and the Distributive Property to find the total number of gift cards that Ernie, Jessie, and Makayla sold

Answer 1

I Believe it is 168

Answer 2

168

Explanation:

Gift Cards sold by Ernie = 66

Gift cards sold by Hessie = 24

Gift Cards sold by Makayala = 78

Common Factor = 6

66 = 6 x 11

24 = 6 x 4

78 = 6 x 13

The total number of gift cards sold is the sum of each person, that being 66 + 24 + 78 which equals 168

Total number of gift cards that all three sold = 168
