Which of the following uses the distributive property to determine the product 12(185) question 6 options: a) 12(100) + 12(13) b) 12(18) + 12(5) c) 12(1) + 12(8) + 12(5) d) 12(100) + 12(80) + 12(5)

d) 12(100) + 12(80) + 12(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the distributive property, if a,b, c, and d are real numbers, then

a(b+c+d)=ab+ac+ad

We want to find the product 12(185).

We can expand 185 as 100+80+5

Our product then becomes;

We expand using the distributive property to get;

The correct choice is D
