11. The profit Samantha's company makes is given by the expression 0.1(1000 + 300m)
where m is the total number of sales.
Rewrite the expression using the distributive
property. What is the profit if her company
sells 50 pieces of merchandise?

0.1(1000 + 300m)

Use the distributive property: a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c

0.1 x 1000 + 0.1 x 300m

Evaluate both products: 100 + 30m (1)

Note: Multiplying a number by 0.1 is the same as dividing the number by 10.

We need to determine the profit when 50 pieces are sold.

Substitute m with 50 in equation (1).

100+30(50)

Evaluate product: 100 + 1500

Evaluate sum" 1600

Thus the profit is $1600.
