To find the total price of 7 CDs that cost $14.99 each using the Distributive Property, you can express the total cost as:
\[ \text{Total Cost} = 7 \times 14.99 \]
Using the Distributive Property, you can break this down as follows:
\[ 7 \times 14.99 = 7 \times (15 - 0.01) \]
Now, distribute 7 to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[ = 7 \times 15 - 7 \times 0.01 \]
Calculating each term:
- \(7 \times 15 = 105\)
- \(7 \times 0.01 = 0.07\)
Now, subtract the second term from the first:
\[ 105 - 0.07 = 104.93 \]
Therefore, the total price for 7 CDs at $14.99 each is $104.93.
