\text{Hey there!}


\text{A team of volunteers collected a total of 2.696 selling paintings at a charity}\\\text{concert each painting was sold for \$8 what was the total number of}\\\text{of paintings sold? }


\text{Okay, so... First you have to find all of your key points/numbers to help us solve}\\\text{ for our equation.}\\\\\bullet\text{We can say that p could could be the number of paintings that were/ are sold}}\\\bullet\text{We can have our equation set up like this }\bf{2696/8= p}


\text{Now, lets solve for your answer, shall we? }


\text{Solve each sides your equation}


(2696/8)/(8/8)\\\\8/8=1\\\\2696/8=337


(337)/(1)= 337


\boxed{\text{p = 337}}


\boxed{\boxed{\text{Thus, the total number of paintings that were sold is: \bf{337}}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
