Question

8. A paint store has 35 gallons of paint in

Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost of the  indoor paint in storage = $462

Step-by-step explanation:

Total gallons of paint the store has = 35

Fraction of paints for outdoor use = $\frac{2}{5}$

Number of gallons for outdoor use can be found out by finding $\frac{2}{5}$ of total gallons of pain which is 35.

So, number of gallons for outdoor use = $\frac{2}{5}\times 35$

⇒ $\frac{70}{5}$

⇒ $14$ gallons

The remaining gallons are for indoor use.

Number of gallons for indoor use = $35-14=21$ gallons

Cost per gallon of paint  = $22.

Total cost of indoor paint in storage = $Unit\ cost\times Total\ gallons\ of\ indoor\ paint$

⇒ $22\times 21$

⇒ $\ 462$ (Answer)
