To state: An algebraic problem that requires the use of a real-number properties to solve.
The problem is “Find the total cost to John if he purchased 5 notebooks at $2 each and 3 pens at $2 each”.
Given information:
The given statement says to write an algebraic problem that requires the use of real-number properties to solve.
Explanation:
Consider the Distributive property of real numbers:
Distributive property gives
Form a problem based on this property.
Find the total cost to John if he purchased 5 notebooks at $2 each and 3 pens at $2 each.
Find the cost of 5 notebooks and 2 pens and then add them.
Calculate the bill of 5 notebooks:
Calculate the bill of 2 pens:
Now add both to get the total bill:
Use Distributive property and simplify,
Therefore, the total cost that John has paid is $14.
