To expand the expression \( 0.06(40 + 30) \) using the distributive property, you distribute \( 0.06 \) to both terms inside the parentheses:
\[
0.06(40) + 0.06(30)
\]
Now, calculate each part:
1. \( 0.06 \times 40 = 2.4 \)
2. \( 0.06 \times 30 = 1.8 \)
Now, combining those results, we get:
\[
2.4 + 1.8
\]
Therefore, the expanded expression is:
\[
2.4 + 1.8
\]
And when added together, the total tax is:
\[
2.4 + 1.8 = 4.2
\]
So, the final expanded expression is \( 2.4 + 1.8 \) and the total tax is \( 4.2 \) dollars.
\[
0.06(40) + 0.06(30)
\]
Now, calculate each part:
1. \( 0.06 \times 40 = 2.4 \)
2. \( 0.06 \times 30 = 1.8 \)
Now, combining those results, we get:
\[
2.4 + 1.8
\]
Therefore, the expanded expression is:
\[
2.4 + 1.8
\]
And when added together, the total tax is:
\[
2.4 + 1.8 = 4.2
\]
So, the final expanded expression is \( 2.4 + 1.8 \) and the total tax is \( 4.2 \) dollars.
