Answer 1

Mailyn spent $32.79 at the Art Stop, calculated by adding the total cost of paintbrushes ($18.75) and tubes of paint ($14.04).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Mailyn spent at the Art Stop, we need to calculate the total cost of the paintbrushes and the tubes of paint. Mailyn bought 5 paintbrushes at $3.75 each and 3 tubes of paint at $4.68 each. The total cost of the paintbrushes is found by multiplying the cost per paintbrush by the number of paintbrushes:

• 5 paintbrushes × $3.75 = $18.75

The total cost of the tubes of paint is found by multiplying the cost per tube by the number of tubes:

• 3 tubes of paint × $4.68 = $14.04

Add these two amounts together to find the total amount spent:

• $18.75 + $14.04 = $32.79

Therefore, Mailyn spent $32.79 at the Art Stop.
