In order to do this we must set up an equation
We are looking for the original amount she was paid, which we'll represent by the variable X
We know that $585 is X minus 10% of X
This means that $585 is 90% of X (or X times 0.90)
So, our equation is

X(0.90)=585

In order to solve this, we can divide both sides by 0.90

X=650

So, she was originally paid $650

Serga [27]
Tyler has 3 cans of blue paint. Each contains 3 quarts separately. What you need to do is multiply 3 and 3, which would total to 9 quarts. Since you need to include exponents, I´m guessing 3 cubed (3 to the third power) will work. He also buys 1 can of white paint, which only contains 2 quarts. You should add that to the 9 quarts we got from the last steps. I am not sure if this answer is entirely correct, but my guess is 3^3 + 2 = 11 quarts.
