Answer:

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.
