Answer:
216
Step-by-step explanation:
108 x 2 = 216
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.
1. This shape is called a parallelogram and it’s area formula is A=W*H, so you would plug in 12 1/3 for H and 17 1/5 for W. The answer would be 215yd.
2. This is a triangle and it’s area formula is A=1/2bh. Plug in 14 as H and 17 for b. The answer would be 119ft.
I'm pretty sure it's 22%
If it's not, then I'm sorry!!
