At the market, Joey buys 3 avocados for $.40 each and 5 lemons for $0.40 each. The cashier in training rings up 3 × 0.40 and then 5 × 0.40 to get the total. The experienced cashier says to add the 3 plus 5 in his head and then ring up 8 × 0.40. What property says that these two totals would be the same?

1. Associative property of multiplication
2. Commutative property of multiplication
3. Multiplicative identity

associative property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The Associative property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer is the "Associative property of multiplication" because, the associative property says that, "rearranging the parenthesis in a expression will not change the result".

So, in this instance, no matter whether the cashier rings up:

5 ⋅ 0.40 + 4 ⋅ 0.40, or simply 8 ⋅ 0.40 the total will be $3.20 both ways.
