Question

Simplify using distributive property:

$(126\times 33)+(126\times 67)$ is

• A. $1,260$
• B. $12,600$
• C. $1,26,000$
• D. $1,000$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$12,600$

The Distributive Property is easy to remember if you recall that "multiplication distributes over addition".

Formally, they write this property as $"a(b+c)=ab+ac".$

$(126\times 33)+(126\times 67)$
$=126\times (33+67)$ ($\because$ distributive property)
$=126\times 100$
$=12,600$
