Answer 2

Answer:

$4\times 20+4\times 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that DVD's are on sale for $24 each. Felipe writes the expression 4 x 24 to find the cost in dollars of buying 4 DVD's.

We can rewrite Felipe's expression by writing 24 as sum of 20 and 4.

$4\times (20+4)$

Using distributive property $a(b+c)=ab+ac$, we will get:

$4\times 20+4\times 4$

$80+16=96$

Therefore, we can rewrite Felipe's expression using distributive property as $4\times 20+4\times 4$.
