Question

Sara owns a paint shop that makes custom paints. To make one gallon of a specialty color, she needs 4 royal blue units that each cost $b. She also needs 9 yellow units that each cost $y. A customer orders 4 gallons of this paint.
Sara uses the expression 4(4b + 9y) to find the total cost for the color units needed to make each gallon of paint.
