Answer 1

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow Price(1 + 0.05) }\)

Answer 2

These are the fundamentals of the distributive property.

Answer 3

If you distribute, you'll get Price + 0.05(price), which is exactly what you want.

Answer 4

Note that 0.05 = 1/20

Answer 5

If you simplify, you'd get 1.05 * Price.

Answer 6

so the answers would be 1.05 * 2, 1.05 * 15, 1.05 * 30, 1.05 * 40 respectively.
