a) 15.37.4 + 120.21 + 21.5.12
= 60 . 37 + 2.60.21 + 60 . 21
= 60 (37 + 42 + 21)
= 60 x 100 = 6000
b) 15.(27 + 18 + 6) + 15 . (23 + 12)
= 15 . (27 + 18 + 6 + 23 + 12)
= 15 x 86
=1290
c) 10 x (81 + 19) + 100 + 50 x (91 + 9)
= 10 x 100 + 100 + 50 x 100
= 100 x (10 + 1 + 50)
= 100 x 61 = 6100
d) 42 x (15 + 96) + 6 x (25 + 4) x 7
= 42 x (15 + 96) + 42 x (25 + 4)
= 42 x (15 + 96 + 29)
= 42 x 140 =5880
