Although there are several artists who are pointillists, it seems that Georges-Pierre Seurat is probably the most famous. Some of his paintings include Can-Can, Circus Sideshow, Die Modelle, Gray weather Grande Jatte. Seurat studied under Justin Lequien and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Lequien taught him drawing and Ingres was his painting teacher. Seurat was not just interested in the way that the colors were put onto the painting or the painting itself. He was mostly concentrating on the science in the picture and the optical mixing of the colors. Before actually painting the picture, he would sketch out parts of his artwork so that the models would not have to wait forever while he found the exact color. Many people didn't like Seurat's new painting technique and thought that it was "messy" or "fuzzy".  Paul Signac was one artist who thought that Seurat's new techniques was complicated, beautiful and artistic.

Ashley,

Both Elizabeth and John had wonderful answers but here is a trick that might help. In reality there are only 9 facts you have to learn.  They are 7 *8, 7*9, 7*12, 8*9, 8*12, 11*11, 11*12, 12*12.

How that is possible is because:

You know that anything times 0 equals 0.

You know that anything times 1 equals that number - 1*1 = 1, 1*2 = 2, etc.

You know that anything times 2 equals double that number - 2*1= 2, 2*2=4, etc.

If you know that 2 times a number is double that number then you know that 4 times any number is double 2 times that number - 2*2=4 so 4*2=8 or 4 doubled.

You know that to find 5 times any number you count by 5s - 5, 10, 15, 20, etc.

You know that 10 times any number is that number with a zero added to it - 1*10=10 or 1 with a zero, 2*10=20 or 2 with a zero, etc.

You know that to get 3 times any number you count by 3s - 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.

If you know what 3 times a number is you double that number for 6 times that number - 3*2=6 so 6*2=12 or 6 doubled.

You know that 11 times a number is double the number (until you get to 11*11 and 11*12) - 11*2=22, 11*3=33, etc.

So that leaves the nine facts I listed above that need to be learned. Also, the commutative property of mathematics gives you the rest of the facts - 2*3=6 so 3*2=6, 4*5=20 so 5*4=20.

It sounds confusing but really isn't. To make it easier to understand, make yourself a multiplication chart for the facts 0 to 12 and color code each step above. It should help you understand a little better. I tried to put my color coded chart in this answer but it would let me. I will make a blog post on my page about this trick. Hope it helps you. Multiplication facts really aren't that difficult when you break them down.

Chellienne,

If I take your question just as you have stated it the following would be the equation and answer: $109.00 * 2 = $218.00. I am however, sure there is more to your question than this. So, I'm afraid I can't answer your question without more information. The bond yield also plays a part in calculating the total dollar amount you would pay.
