Answer:

Brushes= 8, Paint= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total spending on paint and brush= $20

           Cost of each paint= $4

           Cost of each brush= $0.50.

Let´s assume the number of paint bought be "x"

∴ number of brushes bought is "2x".

Now, forming an equation to determine the number of paint and brushes bought.

⇒ \$4\times x+ \$0.50\times 2x= \$20

⇒4x+x= 20

⇒5x= 20

Dividing both side by 5

⇒ x= \frac{20}{5}

∴ x= 4\ unit

Hence, number of paint bought is 4 units.

Next finding the number of brushes bought.

Number of brushes bought= 2\times 4

∴ Number of brushes bought= 8\ units

Hence, number of brushes bought is 8 units.
