Step-by-step explanation:

3 boxes or less = Cost of tiles = $48

4 - 8 boxes ;  cost = $45

9 - 19 boxes ; cost = $42

> 19 boxes ; cost = $38

Cost of purchasing 5 boxes of tiles :

$45 * 5 = $225

Cost of purchasing 19 boxes :

$42 * 19 = $798

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
