A school has $15,000 to spend on computer monitors. The school plans to purchase 200 monitors for $89 each. A teacher completes the calculations below and concludes that the school has enough money to buy the monitors. 200 × 89 = (200 × 8) + (200 × 9) = 1,600 + 1,800 = 3,400

Since the budget of the school is $15,000, the school does not have enough money to buy the monitors

Step-by-step explanation:

The school plans to purchase 200 monitors for $89 each.

This is the calculation of the teacher

200 × 89 = (200 × 8) + (200 × 9) = 1,600 + 1,800 = 3,400

The teacher's calculation is wrong

The correct calculation using Distributive property is

a(b + c) = ab + ac

200 × 89 = 200(80) + 200(9)

Because 80 + 9 = 89

Hence,

200 × $89 = 16000 + 1800

= $17,800

Since the budget of the school is $15,000, the school does not have enough money to buy the monitors

$17, 800 ≠ $15,000

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
