Answer 1

try just posting a problem without copying all the surrounding text, eh?

Don't make us figure out the question as well as the answer. Clean it up and post it again. Maybe just one question. Learn from its solution and try more on your own.

Answer 2

Im doing this right now and need help :(

Answer 3

here are the answers:.06(2.50 + 8.75 + 3.00 + 10.25)
= .06(2.50) + .06(8.75) + .06(3.00) + .06(10.25)
= 24.50 then subtract 25.97-24.50=1.47
1.47 is what you saved! The first one was distribute the next is not distribute
2.50+8.75+3.00+10.25=24.50
24.50*1.06=25.97
25.97-24.50=1.47
Then you saved 1.47
