1.47(2.50 + 8.75+ 3.00 +10.25)= 1.47 x 2.50 + 1.47 x 8.75 + 1.47 x 3.00 + 1.47 x 10.25 =
Put that in your calculator and see what you get
probably easier to add up the numbers in the () and then do just one multiply.
Without that final = sign, maybe you just want to illustrate the distributive property. ??
To solve this equation step by step, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
Step 1: First, perform any calculations within parentheses. In this case, there are no parentheses, so we move on to the next step.
Step 2: Next, we perform the multiplications. We multiply 1.47 by each of the numbers inside the parentheses: 2.50, 8.75, 3.00, and 10.25.
1.47 x 2.50 = 3.675
1.47 x 8.75 = 12.8625
1.47 x 3.00 = 4.41
1.47 x 10.25 = 15.0675
Step 3: Add up the results of the multiplications to get the final answer:
3.675 + 12.8625 + 4.41 + 15.0675 = 36.015
Therefore, 1.47(2.50 + 8.75 + 3.00 + 10.25) is equal to 36.015.
