Teena's calculator is broken and does not have key 9 that works! With this broken calculator she found out the value of (-35) x 99. Explain your reasoning carefully and clearly

(-35) * (100 - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

She was able to find the value of (-35) * 99 without using the missing 9 button on her calculator.

The easiest way to do this is to replace 99 with another set of numbers that has the same value as 99.

(100 - 1) has the same value as 99. So, Teena can replace 99 with (100 - 1):

(-35) * (100 - 1)

It will yield the desired result.

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.
