For class 2, the teacher buys 20 tubes of paint, 14 brushes, and 15 canvasses. Each tube of paint costs $3.35, each brush costs $1.75, and each canvas costs $4.50. Compute the following matrix multiplication to determine how much the teacher spent on each class.

Answer 1

Class 1 =$177.90
Class 2 =$159


Class 1

24 tube of paint / $3.35 each
12 brushes/ $1.75 each
17 canvases/$4.50 each
Total cost of paint= $80.40
Total cost of brushes=$21
Total cost of canvases= $76.50
Total spent on class 1 = $177.90

Class 2

20 tubes of paint/$3.35 each
14 brushes/$1.75 each
15 canvases/ $4.50 each
Total cost of paint=$67
Total cost of brushes =$24.50
Total cost of canvases=$67.50
Total spent on class 2 = $159
