Question

Amanda bought g gallons if paint for 16.55 per gallon and t pints of paint thinner for 5.97 per pint. Write an expression to represent the total amount that Amanda spent?

Answer 1

An expression represent the total amount spent by Amanda is C = 16.55p + 5.97t

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of paint bought by Amanda = p gallons

Cost of paint per gallon = 16.55

Cost of p gallons of paint = 16.55p

Quantity of paint = t pints

Cost of paint per pint = 5.97

Cost of t pints of paint = 5.97t

Total amount spent by Amanda(C) = 16.55p + 5.97t

Hence, an expression represent the total amount spent by Amanda is C = 16.55p + 5.97t
