To find the combined weight of the new paint and brushes, we need to add the weight of the new paint to the weight of the brushes.
Given:
Weight of Jing's can of paint = 4999 grams
Combined weight of paint and brushes = 6007 grams
Weight of new paint = 1298 grams
Step 1: Calculate the weight of the brushes
To find the weight of the brushes, we subtract the weight of the paint from the combined weight of paint and brushes:
Weight of brushes = Combined weight - Weight of paint
Weight of brushes = 6007 grams - 4999 grams
Weight of brushes = 1008 grams
Step 2: Calculate the combined weight of the new paint and brushes
To find the combined weight, we add the weight of the new paint to the weight of the brushes:
Combined weight = Weight of new paint + Weight of brushes
Combined weight = 1298 grams + 1008 grams
Combined weight = 2306 grams
Therefore, the combined weight of the new paint and brushes is 2306 grams.
