D. Identity Property of Addition

Answer :

Answer:

A) Associative Property of Addition

Step-by-step explanation:

Associative Property of Addition

Let A, B and C  be any three real numbers

A+(B+C) = (A+B) + C

Given data

(20.4 + 3.75) + 4.25 =  20.4 + (3.75 + 4.25)

                                 =  20.4 + 8.0

                                =  28.4
