Of 85% of cars sold where not black then 100-85% where black = 15%
let the number of cars sold be y
then 15%*y=300
y= 300 divided by 15%
= (300*100)/15
=2000
therefore 2000 cars were sold
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.
Lets put this into an equation
x + 1/5 * x = 36
1.2x = 36
x = 30
1/5x = 6
So our final answer is 6 and 30.
