Answer:

She is buying 7 bottles and 15 canvases of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets change the story problem to equations and solve them</em>

- The teacher buys x bottles of paint for $1.29 each

- She buys 8 more canvases than bottles of  paint for $1.89 each

- Her total pretax cost is $37.38

* <em>Lets write an equation represented these information</em>

∵ x is the number of the bottles of paint

∵ She buys 8 more canvases than bottles

∴ The number of canvases of paint = x + 8

∵ Her total pretax is $37.38

∵ The cost of a bottle of paint is $1.29

∵ The cost of a canvas of paint is $1.89

∴ 1.29(x) + 1.89(x + 8) = 37.38

- Simplify the equation

∴ 1.29 x + 1.89 x + 15.12 = 37.38

∴ 3.18 x + 15.12 = 37.38

- Subtract 15.12 from both sides

∴ 3.18 x = 22.26

- Divide both sides by 3.18

∴ x = 7

∵ x represents the number of bottles

∴ The number of bottles of paint is 7

∵ x + 8 represents the number of canvases

∴ The number of canvases = 7 + 8 = 15

∴ The number of canvases of paint is 15

∴ She is buying 7 bottles and 15 canvases of paint

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green
dalvyx [7]

Answer: \frac{1}{3} proportion of candies are green.  

Solution:  

In bag A, \frac{2}{3} candies are yellow.  

\frac{2}{3} this proportion shows ratio of favorable over total candies.  

Here numerator number is 2.  

So, Total number of yellow candies should be 2x

Total number of candies in Bag A would be 3x

Number of green candies in bag A = 3x-2x = x

Now we find the portion of green candies in bag A

\therefore,  \frac{x}{3x}

\frac{1}{3} portion of candies are green in bag A
