Answer 1

$1.02

Explanation:

We are told that Clark buys 2 gallons of paint for $ 16.39.

To find the cost per pint of paint let us convert amount of paint in gallons.

1 gallon = 8 pints.

2 gallons= 8*2 pints= 16 pints.

Now let us find cost per pint of paint by dividing the total cost of paint by number of pints in 2 gallons.

`\text{The cost per pint of paint}=(16.39)/(16)`

`\text{The cost per pint of paint}=1.024375`

Upon rounding our answer to nearest cent we will get,

`\text{The cost per pint of paint}=1.02`

Therefore, the cost per pint of paint is $1.02.
