Jessica took her mother to a movie. she paid $9 each for 2 tickets, $4 each for 2 nachos, and $3 each for 2 bottles of water. Use distributive property to show two different ways to solve the problem. How much did she spend?

Hey there! Hello!

For this problem, let's write out all of the amounts of each thing that was bought, like this:

[tex]9+9+4+4+3+3[/tex]

This represents the 2 $9.00 items, the 2 $4.00 items, and the 2 $3.00 items, all in one problem. To figure out how much the amount spent would be total, all you have to do is add up all of the numbers:

[tex]9+9+4+4+6[/tex]
[tex]9+9+8+6[/tex]
[tex]18+8+6[/tex]
[tex]18+14[/tex]
[tex]32[/tex]

This means that $32.00 were spent, total. 

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. I like your avatar, by the way! :-)
You do first 9times2 then 4 times 2 then 2times3 the answer is[32]
