Question

Adrian purchases 6 tubes of paint and 3 paintbrushes at a craft store. Each tube of paint costs $2.50 and each paintbrush costs $0.50. He has a coupon for $2.00 off his purchase. How much does he pay?

Answer 1

$14.5

Explanation:

6 tubes at 2.5 dollars each

3 paintbrushes for 0.5 dollars each

2 dollars off due to coupon

6*2.5+3*0.5-2=14.5

Answer 2

$14.50

Explanation:

6 x $2.50 = $15.00

3 x $0.50 = $1.50

$15.00 + $1.50 = $16.50

$16.50 - $2.00 = $14.50
