Define a variable. Then write and solve an equation to solve each problem. Ishi bought a canvas and 8 tubes of paint for $24.59. If the canvas cost $6.95, how much did each tube of paint cost?
The answer is not 17.64 it’s 18
Apologies for the error. Let's solve the equation correctly:
Total cost = Cost of the canvas + Cost of the paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
Subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$24.59 - $6.95 = 8x
Simplifying the left side:
$17.64 = 8x
Dividing both sides by 8:
$17.64 / 8 = x
The cost of each tube of paint is $2.205, which can be rounded to $2.21.
What is wrong with you ROBOT!?!?
I apologize for the confusion caused. Let's solve the equation correctly:
Total cost = Cost of the canvas + Cost of the paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
Subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$17.64 = 8x
Dividing both sides by 8:
$17.64 / 8 = x
The cost of each tube of paint is $2.205, which can be rounded to $2.21.
Apologies again for any misunderstandings caused earlier.
Step 1: Define a variable.
Let's define the variable "x" to represent the cost of each tube of paint.
Step 2: Write an equation based on the given information.
The total cost of the canvas and 8 tubes of paint is $24.59.
Therefore, the equation can be written as:
6.95 + 8x = 24.59
Step 3: Solve the equation.
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, subtract 6.95 from both sides of the equation:
8x = 24.59 - 6.95
8x = 17.64
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 17.64 / 8
x ≈ 2.205
Step 4: Interpret the result.
Each tube of paint costs approximately $2.205
To solve this problem, let's define a variable. Let's say the cost of each tube of paint is "x" dollars.
Since Ishi bought 8 tubes of paint for a total of $24.59, we can write the equation:
Total cost = Cost of canvas + Cost of paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of "x."
First, let's isolate the variable by subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$24.59 - $6.95 = 8x
Simplifying:
$17.64 = 8x
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for "x":
$17.64 / 8 = x
Thus, each tube of paint costs approximately $2.205 or $2.21 when rounded to the nearest cent.
Let's define a variable:
Let x be the cost of each tube of paint.
Now, we can write an equation based on the given information:
Total cost = Cost of the canvas + Cost of the paint tubes
$24.59 = $6.95 + 8x
To solve for x, we can start by subtracting $6.95 from both sides of the equation:
$24.59 - $6.95 = 8x
Simplifying the left side of the equation:
$17.64 = 8x
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x:
$17.64 / 8 = x
The cost of each tube of paint is $2.205, which can be rounded to $2.21.
