Example Question #81 : Distributive Property
Multiply:
To multiply these terms use the Distributive property by applying the FOIL method. The FOIL method requires that we multiply each term and then combine like terms:
Note: FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last, where
First
Outside
Inside
Last
Final solution equals:

Evaluate:
To evaluate these terms apply the Distributive property:
Thus, the solution is:
Remember: we can not combine or add unlike variables or terms. For example,

Expand the expression.
Use FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) to expand.
First:
Outside:
Inside:
Last:
Sum the four terms into one expression.
Simplify by combining like terms.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Whole From The Part
Find the whole from the part. Round to the nearest tenths place.
16 is 55% of what number?
To find the whole from a part, divide the "part" by the percent. But first, change the percent into a decimal (55% = 0.55)
Round to the nearest tenths place = 29.1.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Whole From The Part
Roman is ordering uniforms for the tennis team. He knows how many people are on the team and how many uniforms come in each box. Which equation can be used to solve for how many boxes 
b = number of students ÷ number of uniforms per box
b = number of students - number of uniforms per box
b = number of students x number of uniforms per box
b = number of boxes ÷ number of uniforms per box
b = number of boxes x number of uniforms per box
b = number of students ÷ number of uniforms per box
The total number of uniforms needed equals the number of students divided by the number of uniforms per box.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Whole From The Part
52 is 25% of what number?
208
13
1,300
240
208
To find the whole from the part, divide the “part” by the percent. In order to do this, first change the percent into a decimal (25% becomes 0.25).
Therefore, 52 is 25% of 208.
