To calculate the total amount Ella Grace spent, you can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

The expression (5 x 20) + (3 x 20) is equivalent to another expression where you factor out the common factor of 20:

20 x (5 + 3)

So, another expression to calculate the total amount spent is 20 x (5 + 3), which simplifies to:

20 x 8

Therefore, Ella Grace spent a total of $160 (20 multiplied by 8) on her purchases.
