Question

A paint store sells EXTERIOR paint for $36.25 a gallon and paint rollers for $7.50 each write an equation in standard form for the number of gallons P of paint and rollers r that a customer goodbye was $185

Answer 1

Answer:

$185 = ($35.25 * P) + ($7.50 * r)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total that the customer paid was $185 this means that the equation must equal $185. The equation itself must be the number of gallons of exterior paint (P) that the customer ordered multiplied by the price per gallon ($36.25), which is then added to the product of the number of rollers the customer ordered (r) and the price per roller ($7.50). This together would form the following equation...

$185 = ($35.25 * P) + ($7.50 * r)
