Question

Find out the value of each of the following by distributive property. 

(i) 185 × 25 + 185 × 75 

(ii) 4 × 18 + 4 × 12 

(iii) 54279 × 92 + 8 × 54279 

(iv) 12 × 8 + 12 × 2

Answer 1

Finding each value by distributive law – 

(i) 185 × 25 + 185 × 75 = 185 × (26 + 75) – 185 × 100 = 18500 

(ii) 4 × 18 + 4 × 12 = 4 × (18 + 12) = 4 × 30 = 120 

(iii) 54279 × 92 + 8 × 54279 = 54279 × (92 + 8) = 54279 × 100 = 5427900 

(iv) 12 × 8 + 12 × 2 = 12 × (8 + 2) = 12 × 10 = 120
