<span>Let the total hour of exam is 3hrs ie 180 minutes.( since answer required in minutes). Let as assume maths questions be in x minutes. Let the assume rest of the question is in y minutes. Given that out of 320 qns 40 is maths qns. therefore, maths qn is =40 and rest of qns is 280. Also given the time of maths qns is twice of rest. They related in the following equation. ie x:y=2:1 ; x/y =2/1 ie x=2y therefore 2x+y= 180 min ; ie 2(2y)+y= 180 ; y=36 therefore resolving for x = 2*36 = 72 time spent for maths qn is 2*x = 2* 72 =144min. rest of maths question is 36 min.</span>

You spend $20 total on tubes of paint and disposable brushes for an art project. Tubes of paint cost $4.00 each and paintbrushes
hram777 [196]
You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b  ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20   ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4   ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b 
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
