Answer:
104.93
Step-by-step explanation:
There are all sorts of ways you may approach this. It all depends on how you partition (split up) the $14.99. Thus there are many ways that your solution can be correct.
I chose: Split $14.99 into
14+0.99
So we have:
7(14+0.99)
The distributive property permits every thing inside the brackets to be multiplied by the 7
So we have:
(7×14)+(7×0.99)
98+6.93
104.93
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you so chose you could split up the seven instead. You are still demonstrating the distributive property.
I chose to split 7 into 5+2 so we now have
14.99(5+2)
Trust me! this will give you the same answer as above.
