Hello there! June buys gallons of paint at different rates. For white paint, she buys 3 1/2 gallons (3.5) at $17.50 per gallon and for blue paint, she buys 1 3/4 gallons (1.75) at $19 per gallon. To solve this problem, let's multiply how much of each paint she bought. 17.5 * 3.5 is 61.25. She paid $61.25 for while paint. 19 * 1.75 is 33.25. She paid $33.25 for blue paint. Now, let's add the prices. 61.25 + 33.25 is 94.5. There. June's total cost for paint was $94.50.
White paint is $17.50 per gallon so 3 1/2 gallons would be 17.50 * 3.5 = 61.25 And then blue paint is $19 per gallon so 1 3/4 gallons would be 19 * 1.75 = 33.25 Now add 61.25 + 33.25 = 94.5 The total cost would be $94.50
