Step-by-step explanation:
6 cans of paint for a total of 90 dollars spent
I multiplied 120 by .20 to get 24 and subtracted it from 120 to get the amount that still has to be painted which is 96.
96 divided by 16 is 6 which is the number of cans of paint needed to paint the rest. Then just multiply by the cost (15$) and the answer is 90$
You have to ask yourself how would you read that decimal? It is 162 ten-thousandths because the last digit, which is 2 is in the ten-thousandths place. So the fraction would be 162/10000
