Question

Colton and his dad bought a gallon of pain that cost 13$. They also bought 2 brushes that cost 9$ each. What was the total cost, not including. Tax, of the brushes and the paint they bought?

Answer 1

1) Write the formula (t=2b+g).

2) Replace b and g with 9 and 13 (t=2(9)+(13)).

3) Solve for t (t=18+13 -> t=31).

The answer is the total (t) is $31.
