We will use the following law of indices (or 'index law') to check each pair of expression
![x^{ \frac{m}{n}} = ( \sqrt[n]{x} )^{m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B%20%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%7D%20%3D%20%28%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%7D%20%29%5E%7Bm%7D%20)
With fractional power, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the power of the term. When the denominator is 2, we usually only write the normal square symbol (√). Denominator other than 2, we usually write the value of the root, for example, the cubic root ∛

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.

Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
60% of 90 = 60/100 × 90
= 0.6 × 90
= 54
Therefore, 60% of 90 is 54.
