Harold purchases 8 gallons of paint and 3 brushes for 152.50. the next day, he purchased 6 gallons of paint and 2 brushes for 113.00. how much does each gallon of paint and each brush cost?

Answer 1

Each gallon of paint costs $17, and each brush costs $ 5.50

152.50 - 113 = 39.50 The price of 2 gallons of paints and one brush

39.50 x 2 = S 79 . the price of 4 paints and 2 brushes

113 - 79 = 34 the price of 2 paints

34 : 2 = $17 the price of one paint

113 - { 17 x6 } ; 2 = $5.50 The price of one brush.
