Question

Use the Distributive Property to find the price of 9 CDs that cost $13.99 each.


$125.91


$126.90


$117.00


$126.00

Answer 1

To use the Distributive Property to find the cost of 9 CDs that cost $13.99 each, you can express the multiplication as follows:

\[
9 \times 13.99 = 9 \times (13 + 0.99)
\]

Applying the Distributive Property:

\[
9 \times 13 + 9 \times 0.99
\]

Calculating each part:

1. \(9 \times 13 = 117\)
2. \(9 \times 0.99 = 8.91\)

Now add these two results together:

\[
117 + 8.91 = 125.91
\]

Thus, the total cost for 9 CDs would be **$125.91**.

So the answer is:

**$125.91**
