$24 equals 1 DVD
?      equals 4 DVD
THEN CROSS MULTIPLY.....24 TIMES 4 WHICH WILL GIVE YOU $
96 FOR 4 DVD'S

Answer:

\(4\times 20+4\times 4\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that DVD's are on sale for $24 each. Felipe writes the expression 4 x 24 to find the cost in dollars of buying 4 DVD's.

We can rewrite Felipe's expression by writing 24 as sum of 20 and 4.

\(4\times (20+4)\)

Using distributive property \(a(b+c)=ab+ac\), we will get:

\(4\times 20+4\times 4\)

\(80+16=96\)

Therefore, we can rewrite Felipe's expression using distributive property as \(4\times 20+4\times 4\).
