Question

How do you use the distributive property to rewrite and evaluate `9*99`?

Answer 1

See the solution process for this problem below:

Explanation:

We can rewrite this expression as:

`(9 * 1)(9 * 11) = (9 * 9)(1* 11) = 81 * 11 = 891`

Answer 2

`(1): 9*99=9(100-1)=900-9=891.`

`(2): 9*99=(10-1)99=990-99=891.`

`(3): 9*99=(10-1)(100-1)=10(100-1)-1(100-1)`

`=1000-10-100+1=990-100+1=890+1=891.`
