Question

Using the distributive property to calculate the value of each of the following.

a. 87x 98
b. 88 x 48
c. 3452 x 102

Answer 1

87*98 = 87(100-2)= 87*100 - 87*2 = 8700-174 = 8526

88*48 = 88(50-2)= 88*50 - 88*2 = 4400-176 = 4224

3452*102 = 3452(100+2)= 3452*100 + 3452*2 =345200+6904= 352104
