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

parthkohli · Answer

These are the fundamentals of the distributive property.

parthkohli · Answer

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

parthkohli · Answer

Note that 0.05 = 1/20

parthkohli · Answer

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

parthkohli · Answer

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