A family pass to the amusement park costs $54 Using the Distributive Property,write an expression that can be used to fine the cost in dollars of 8 family
8 (50 +4) = 8*50 + 8*4 = 400 + 32
= 432
8 (50+4)=8*50+8*4=400+32=432
my name jeff
(55-1) x8
=(55x8) - (8x1)
=440 -8
=432
To find the cost in dollars of 8 family passes, we can use the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property states that you can multiply a number by the sum of two or more numbers by multiplying each number individually and then summing the products.
Let's break down the information given:
- The cost of a single family pass is $54.
- We want to find the cost of 8 family passes.
To find the total cost, we multiply the cost of a single family pass by the number of family passes we want. In this case, we multiply $54 by 8.
Using the Distributive Property, we can express this as an expression:
8 * ($54)
In this expression, 8 represents the number of family passes we want, and $54 represents the cost of a single family pass.
By simplifying the expression, we can determine the final cost in dollars.
