Answer 1

Thus last month Calvin made $414.90 from all the paintings sold at the art shows.

Explanation:

Let us first analyse the given information in the question:

→ Small paints (lets call them
`s`) sell for $25.80 Per Painting, thus:

`25.80s` gives as the profit for
`s` number paints sold.

→ Large paints (lets call them
`l`) sell for $56.25 Per Painting, thus:

`56.25l` gives as the profit for
`l` number paints sold.

We also know last month he sold six large paintings and three small paintings thus from our variables above we can say:

`s=3\\l=6` Eqn(1).

Thus the total profit of all paintings sold would be:

`PROFIT= 25.80s+56.25l` which by pluggin in Eqn(1) values gives

`PROFIT=25.80*3+56.25*6\\PROFIT=414.90`

Thus last month Calvin made $414.90 from all the paintings sold at the art shows.
