Question

Paint costs $19.95 per gallon. Nicole needs 1.25 gallons to complete a painting project

Answer 1

$25.00

Explanation:

1. Set up a proportion:
   `(19.95)/(1) = (x)/(1.25)`
2. Cross multiply, then divide: 19.95 × 1.25 = 24.9375, 24.9375 ÷ 1 = $24.9375
3. Round your answer: $24.9375 → $25.00
