Question

Lori purchases a new set of watercolor paints and some canvases to create art for her next exhibit. The watercolor paint set costs $15 and the canvases are $24.50 each. If Lori buys 6 canvases, what is the total amount of money she spends for her next exhibit?

A $211.00
B $162.00
C $237.00
D $147.00

Answer 1

The answer is B.) $162.00

Answer 2

Starting with the paints, we have 15$ as our base value. Next, since we add $24.50 for each new canvas bought, 24.5*x=the amount of money for x canvases. Therefore, since 15 is our base value, we have 15+24.5*6=162
