Using the Distributive Property COURSE 2 LESSON 1-1 At a snack shop, you order a taco that costs $3.10 and a juice that costs $.90. If you buy the same lunch for the next 8 days, what will be the total cost of all of the lunches? Use the distributive property to calculate your total. 8 ($3.10 + $ 0.90 ) = 8 ($3) + 8 ($0.10) + 8 ($ 0.90 ) = $24 + $0.80 + $7.20 = $24 + $8.00 = $32.00 1-1
