Question

June bought ​ 3 1/2 ​ gallons of white paint at $17.50 per gallon and ​ 1 3/4 ​gallons of blue paint at $19.00 per gallon. What was her total cost? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

First multiply 3 x 17.50 = 52.50
divide 17.50 in half = 8.75
add those together 61.25
1 gallon 19.00 ( add the previous total ) 80.25
3 divided 4 x 19 = 14.25
add those together and your total answer is 94.5
