Hey guys bout to give the answers just one sec tho!
Ok hold on bout to post the answer.
2.50+8.75+3.00+10.25=24.50
24.50*1.06=25.97
25.97-24.50=1.47
1.47 is what you saved!
The one above is not distribute. Next one will be distribute.
.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! :) I love helping people and I wish there was less hate and more love and kindness! If you every need me just say #Lost! Bye peeps Have a great day!
