A car dealership sells 200 vehicles in the month of June and then sells1
4
more vehicles in the month of July. This can be modeled by the numerical expression 200 + 1
4
(200). Simplify the expression to find how many cars were sold in July.
The dealership sold
cars in July.
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.
