(200). Simplify the expression to find how many cars were sold in July.

The dealership sold
cars in July.

Answer 1

214 cars in July.

To simplify the expression 200 + 1.4(200), first calculate 1.4 times 200:

1.4 x 200 = 280

Then add that result to 200:

200 + 280 = 214

So, the dealership sold 214 cars in July.
