Question

Melissa brought a canvas and 9 tubes of paint for $27.79.If the canvas cost $8.69, how much did each tube of paint cost?

Answer 1

$2.12

Explanation:

subtract the cost of the canvas from the total (27.79-8.69=19.1) and then you can divide 19.1 by 9 to get the total for each individual paint tube (19.1/9=2.12)
