Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Brandon bought 5 gallons of paint for $90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Parvati:

$8\ gallon \to \ 144$

Required

Person with the same paint

First, calculate the unit cost of Parvati's paint

$Unit = \frac{\ 144}{8\ gallon}$

$Unit = \ 18/gallon$

To get the person with the same kind of paint, we simply calculate the unit price.

Whoever has the same unit price as $Unit = \ 18/gallon$ have the same kind of paint

Brandon

$Amount = \ 90$

$Size= 5\ gallons$

So:

$Unit = \frac{Amount}{Size}$

$Unit = \frac{\ 90}{5\ gallons}$

$Unit = \ 18/gallons$

Brandon has the same paint as Parvati because the unit prices are the same.
