Answer 1

Answer:

$total \ cost =16.55(8) +5.97(3)=150.31$

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda bought g gallons of paint for $16.55 per gallon and t pints of paint thinner for $5.97 per pint

Total amount = rate per gallon times gallons + rate per pint times  pints

$total amount =16.55 g +5.97 t$

amanda bought 8 gallons of paint and 3 pints of paint thinner

g=8 and t=3, substitute the values and find total cost

$total \ cost =16.55(8) +5.97(3)=150.31$
