What is distributive property?

The distributive property is to make something easier to do or understand and to make something less complicated.

A group of 3 friends spends a total of $17.25 for brunch at a restaurant before tax and tip.

Everyone orders the same thing: scrambled eggs, toast, and orange juice.

An order of toast costs $1, and an order of orange juice costs $1.75.

The money spent by each person will be

[tex]\dfrac{17.25}{3} = 5.75[/tex]

The cost of a scrambled egg (x) for each person will be

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm x + 1 + 1.75 &= 5.75\\\\\rm x &= 3 \end{aligned}[/tex]

The cost of the scrambled egg for three-person will be

[tex]3*3 = 9[/tex].
