we know that

The distributive property tells us how to solve expressions in the form of

[tex]a(b + c)=ab+ac[/tex]

then

we need to remember to multiply first, before doing the addition

in this problem

Let

[tex]a=4[/tex]

[tex](b+c)=24[/tex]

[tex](b+c)=20+4[/tex]

substitute

[tex]4*24=4*(20+4)\\=4*20+4*4\\=80+16\\=\$96[/tex]
